The physicians, most of whom practice with Valley Nephrology Associates in Roanoke, will purchase the ASC under the newly formed company, Fairlawn Surgery Center, according to the report.
Carilion agreed to sell the center to resolve charges by the Federal Trade Commission that its acquisition of the center in Aug. 2008 violated anti-trust laws.
The sale must now be approved by the FTC.
