Plans by Vassar Brothers Medical Center, in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., to build a new ASC as part of a larger $66 million expansion are moving forward, according to a story in the Poughkeepsie Journal.
After beginning consideration of the proposal last week, the city planning board is expected to take up the hospital's construction plans again April 6, according to the report.
