As more elective procedures move out of hospitals and into surgery centers, more healthcare organizations are aiming to reap the benefits of ASCs.
Among these organizations is Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health.
When asked about the health system’s biggest opportunities for growth in the next three years, Janie Wade, CFO of Intermountain, told Becker’s, “There’s also tuck-in growth opportunities including ASCs, imaging centers and physician practice acquisitions. We don’t have any large merger and acquisition targets on the horizon. It’s primarily growth in our existing markets in the communities we already serve and bringing our quality of care, affordability and innovation into those communities with new providers and services.”
Intermountain currently has five surgery centers across Utah and is planning to open more over the course of the next year, according to their website. All Intermountain ASCs are a joint venture between the health system and community surgeons. Read more.
