1. The company continued integrating multiple service lines into existing markets during the first quarter of the year as well as continued operations growth through end-market transactions. “Our performance demonstrates that our model is resonating with physicians, patients and payers, who all benefit from high quality care at a low cost,” said Mr. Doyle.
The company has a payer relationship in Florida providing joint replacement procedures at Surgery Partners surgical facilities.
2. The team is expanding service lines including spine, total joint replacement and cardiovascular procedures. More than 20 of the Surgery Partners facilities now include outpatient joint replacement procedures.
