USPI employs more than 11,000 physicians, including 6,000 physician partners, across 38 states. Additionally, USPI has 512 ASCs and 25 surgical hospitals as of the end of the first quarter
When it comes to recruiting physicians, the key is to “be good stewards,” CEO Saum Sutaria, MD, said speaking May 14 at the Bank of America Securities 2024 Health Care Conference. “Be good stewards of the resources, run the centers and make it efficient for them.”
ASCs are a large investment for physicians, Dr. Sutaria added, so ensuring a good return on capital is key.
“USPI succeeds in the marketplace because we generate the best returns, not only for ourselves, but for our partners,” he said. “And that’s why doctors, especially high quality groups, come to us.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
