Here’s what you should note:

1. The emergency medicine physician group offers services to three Northside Hospital Healthcare System hospitals in Atlanta.

2. Founded in 1973, ENA has 40 physicians who manage more than 170,000 emergency department patient encounters each year.

3. Envision also bought Gwinnett Emergency Specialists, a 70-member emergency medicine physician group practice in Lawrenceville, Ga., in May.

4. Envision owns and operates 264 ASCs.

“We are successfully delivering on a vision to be the trusted partner to physicians and health systems in communities across the country,” said Robert J. Coward, president of Envision Physician Services. “Physicians are under increasing pressures to invest in systems to meet quality measures and to support health system quality reporting requirements. We are well positioned to provide these, and other key infrastructure resources, to facility-based physicians who are then able to focus on patient care.”
