Massachusetts and Wisconsin have seen the most hospital closures of any state in 2024 thus far.

For ASCs, this might result in an influx in patients who have lost access to services through providers at hospitals or outpatient departments.

“ASCs will have the ability to pick up additional service lines, potentially boosting revenue, as hospitals continue to shutter services,” Elaina Turner, RN, administrator of New Albany, Ind.-based Commonwealth Pain and Spine, told Becker’s.

Here is a state-by-state breakdown of the 24 hospitals Becker’s has reported on closing so far in 2024:

Alabama

• Regional Medical Center Health System ended inpatient services at Anniston-based Stringfellow Memorial Hospital.
• Thomasville Regional Medical Center halted operations indefinitely amid staffing shortages.
