In a significant development for Amherst's healthcare landscape, Catholic Health is acquiring the remaining stake in the Amherst ambulatory surgery center. This move is expected to enhance the range of medical services available to local residents. The acquisition, announced on June 19, 2026, underscores Catholic Health's commitment to expanding its presence in the Amherst area.
"The acquisition of the remaining stake in the Amherst ambulatory surgery center is a strategic move to enhance our healthcare services," said a Catholic Health spokesperson.
The Amherst ambulatory surgery center has been a vital healthcare facility for residents, providing outpatient surgical services. Located in the heart of Amherst, the center's proximity to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital makes it an integral part of the local healthcare network. The acquisition is a result of Catholic Health's ongoing efforts to strengthen its position in the Western New York healthcare market.
As Catholic Health expands its services, residents of Amherst, particularly those in the Williamsville and Clarence areas, will have greater access to medical care. The acquisition is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, with potential job creation and increased investment in healthcare infrastructure. Looking ahead, Catholic Health is expected to announce further details on the acquisition and its plans for the Amherst ambulatory surgery center in the coming weeks, with a meeting scheduled for late July to discuss the integration of services.
