Bon Secours Mercy Health To Develop 30+ Ambulatory Surgery Centers Across Multiple States

/in , /by

Cincinnati-based Bon Secours Mercy Health System, a 48-hospital Catholic system, has teamed with Compass Surgical Partners to develop more than 30 ambulatory surgery centers across multiple states, the Triangle Business Journal reported on May 29.

Bon Secours Mercy Health is the latest system to form a strategic partnership to expand their outpatient presence and develop ASCs. Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health and Columbus-based OhioHealth recently inked similar deals with Nashville, Tenn.-based Surgery Partners — one of the largest ASC chains in the U.S.

“Our view, over time, is that more complex procedures will come out of the hospitals,” Sean Rambo, president of Compass, told the publication. “Health systems are wanting to catch up and use this strategy to expand outside of hospital walls.”

Compass will work with Bon Secours Mercy Health of Ohio to develop the ASCs over the next few years throughout the system’s footprint, which includes Kentucky, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New York and Florida, according to the report. The network could expand into other states, such as North Carolina.

“Providing quality outpatient surgical care is an important investment for the communities we serve, enabling us to expand access to care for patients in a way that is accessible and appropriate for their individual care needs,” Bon Secours Mercy Health COO Don Kline said in a news release. “Compass Surgical Partners’ expertise in creating patient-centered ambulatory surgical centers, coupled with their successful track record of leadership in this important space, makes them an ideal partner for this long-term initiative.”

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Orthopedic Care Partners Expands Footprint In The Villages In Florida With Additional Medical Office Building And Ambulatory Surgery Center

/0 Comments/in , /by

Orthopedic Care Partners (OCP), a strategic partner and support organization for top-performing orthopedic practices currently comprised of The Orthopaedic Institute (FL), The Steadman Clinic (CO), Motion Orthopaedics (MO), Tucson Orthopaedic Institute (AZ), and other leading affiliated practices, announced that The Orthopaedic Institute (TOI) is expanding its offerings in The Villages, Florida

The expansion includes a lease of an additional medical office building in Brownwood and an investment in a multi-specialty ambulatory surgery center (“ASC”) operated by ValueHealth, a value-based care platform that partners with existing health systems and physician groups nationwide to develop ambulatory centers of excellence.

Rich Gilbert, M.D., CEO of OCP stated, “This expansion represents an exciting, organic growth initiative that expands TOI’s local market offerings to The Villages, one of the fastest growing retirement communities in the United States and surrounding communities. We also look forward to the opportunity to partner with ValueHealth, a pioneer and leader in the ambulatory surgical space.”

Jim Needham, President of TOI added, “Our new office and ASC will allow TOI to provide new and existing patients across North Central Florida with increased and more integrated options for care. These facilities, paired with the cross-specialty expertise of our doctors, mean that TOI will be able to maximize our patients’ experience and continuity of care.”

Bob Trinh, Chief Executive Officer for The Villages Health commented, “We are excited that TOI will provide high quality convenient care to our patients here in The Villages by establishing themselves in The Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood. Orthopedic care is important to our patients given the active lifestyle here in The Villages.”

Don Bisbee, CEO of ValueHealth commented, “Partnering with leading specialty physicians at The Villages Health and OCP strengthens our ability to deliver advanced value-based care services by raising the standard of surgical excellence in the region. This ASC will bring significant value to the local community through superior patient experiences and provider satisfaction.”

TOI plans to open the office in Brownwood by September 1, 2022. With one existing office in Summerfield, this will be TOI’s second office serving The Villages and surrounding communities and its tenth across Florida.

The ASC facility is being developed as a strategic partnership between ValueHealth, TOI and The Villages Health and will initially offer service lines for gastroenterology, orthopedics, interventional pain, OB/GYN and urology. TOI is the chosen partner for the facility’s orthopedic service line, which will include general, sports medicine, total joints, pain management and spine care, as well as capabilities in numerous sub-specialties. The ASC will start with four operating rooms and four procedure rooms and has the ability to add an additional operating room and two additional procedure rooms. The ASC is expected to be completed by the end of the 2022 with patient care beginning in 2023.

OCP is backed by Varsity Healthcare Partners (“VHP”), a lower middle-market healthcare services private equity investment firm with expertise in growing care provider platforms.
