Centers managed by IMS range from small, one-room, single-specialty ASCs to large, multi-specialty, physician- hospital joint ventures. IMS focuses on providing stability, reliability and support to existing surgery centers.
With corporate offices in Atlanta, IMS has six affiliate ASCs in Georgia, Florida and New Mexico, and continues to expand throughout the country. Physician ownership and control are key components of every IMS Partnership.
IMS is flexible in offering both majority and minority partnerships. The company plans to bring on a minimum of four new ASC partners in 2011. The company is led by Robin J. Fowler, MD, chairman and medical director, Stephen Rosenbaum, CEO, and Kenny Spitler, chief development officer.
“IMS’ physician control model is a perfect fit for 100 percent physician-owned centers that desire to have the benefits of a corporate partner without relinquishing the freedom to make major decisions,” says Mr. Spitler. “With a robust war chest of capital, IMS is poised to close transactions ranging from one OR independent ASCs to a multi-center management company portfolio.” www.physiciancontrol.com
