Intermountain Health and Surgery Partners have signed a collaboration agreement for the management of existing Intermountain Health ambulatory surgical centers in Utah and Idaho and development of ASCs in other select markets.
“We have chosen Surgery Partners because the organization is uniquely aligned with Intermountain Health’s vision to provide extraordinary care and superior service at an affordable cost. Through this collaboration agreement, Intermountain Health will accelerate our efforts to add more ASCs in the communities we serve and to provide more affordable healthcare options,” said Dan Liljenquist, Intermountain Health’s chief strategy officer. “Our ASCs provide high-quality outpatient surgical services, as well as diagnostic and preventive procedures, in a convenient and lower cost setting for patients.”
Headquartered in Utah with locations in seven states and additional operations across the western U.S., Intermountain Health is a nonprofit system of 33 hospitals, 385 clinics, medical groups with some 3,900 employed physicians and advanced care providers, a health plans division called SelectHealth with more than one million members, and other health services.
Founded in 2004, Surgery Partners operates more than 180 locations in 32 states, including ambulatory surgery centers, surgical hospitals, and multi-specialty physician practices. Read more.
