Mr. Robert Zasa commented the company’s client-centered emphasis led it to success. He added the company has never taken on too many projects, which allows a partner to be involved in every project.
“Whether we have an ownership stake in the surgery center or a management contract, we have a vested interest in the outcomes,” said the aforementioned Mr. Zasa. “Our reputation is always on the line.”
Back in the 1970s, Mr. Robert Zasa worked with Wallace Reed, MD, when Dr. Reed coined the term, “surgicenter.” At the onset, Mr. Zasa said anesthesiologists owned surgery center practices. Then, hospitals started joint venturing with surgeons, and today health systems are purchasing surgery centers.
“Many centers founded in the 1990s are going through ownership restructuring and reorganization,” said Mr. Robert Zasa. “Founding physicians are retiring from practice and looking to sell their shares to younger doctors and hospital partners.”
