HSMD formed a partnership with Abdullah Arshad, MD, and Timothy McPherson, DO. The physicians jointly own and practice at six multispecialty medical clinics in Southeastern Missouri, according to a Sept. 27 news release.
HSMD plans to expand care access at the existing clinics and build six new Advance Care Medical facilities, which offer primary and urgent care services. It will also convert an office-based lab to an ASC.
As a result of the partnership, Dr. Arshad was appointed HSMD’s director of rural Missouri and Dr. McPherson was appointed director of clinical operations.
The system plans to develop 75 Advance Care Medical centers in Missouri over the next 36 months, according to the release.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
