Question: Is there hospital interest in surgery centers and GI centers, and partnering with companies like PE GI Solutions, or is that something that was hotter in the past?

Tracy Belsan: Hospital interest is still high. It does depend on the market, but what I’ve seen, both working on the West Coast and back in the Northeast, there still is quite a bit of interest on the hospital side for partnerships. I think hospitals are realizing that they’re not isolated institutions, that they need partnerships outside of their four walls to really advance not only their financial sustainability but to find good partners such as PE GI Solutions. 

We have a variety of value propositions, both on the ASC and the practice side, for all sizes of groups and ASCs, and hospitals really are leaning on us to help them manage, from a business perspective and to provide clinical insight. So I do still see an interest for hospitals across the board.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
