Korver Ear Nose and Throat LLC

June 14, 2017

Korver Ear Nose and Throat LLC owns a recently constructed medical facility in Orange City, Iowa. It would like to convert the lower level of this facility into an outpatient surgery center to perform tonsillectomies, sinus surgeries, and other outpatient ENT surgeries. But it does not want to incur the enormous time, expense, and uncertainty of going through the certificate of need process, only to be denied because of its competitor’s opposition.
