Tom Mallon is the CEO of Regent Surgical Health, which he co-founded in 2001. The company works with physicians and hospitals in the development, management and turnaround of ambulatory surgery centers and currently owns 24 ASCs, 17 of which are joint ventures with hospital providers.
Prior to founding Regent, Mr. Mallon was a partner with Gryffindor Capital Partners and Same Day Surgery. He also previously served as vice president of leasing and marketing for JMB Realty and Miglin-Beitler Developments, both in Chicago.
Mr. Mallon recently reflected on the Supreme Court ruling that upheld President Obama’s healthcare reform law. Although provisions under the landmark legislation has improved business for his company, the law is estimated to cost $1 trilling in new taxes and expenses and poses an expensive risk to an already unstable economy.
“[…] With gridlock in Washington, Republicans making a no-tax pledge, Democrats spending money we don’t have and using new legislation and regulations to freezing business in most sectors from making investments, we are in a terrible situation,” he said. “It is hard to see how we come out the other side because our problems are all self-induced. Too many promises, too little money. The elections and next year are critical to our future welfare.”
