The 9th Annual Orthopedic, Spine and Pain Management-Driven ASC Conference will feature 101 sessions and 134 speakers, including 25 CEOs and 30 physician leaders as speakers, focused on immediately useful guidance for orthopedic, spine and pain management surgeons who own ambulatory surgical centers. Last year’s event included 725 attendees and 65 exhibitors. There are great keynote speakers scheduled including Mike Ditka, legendary NFL player and coach, and Joe Flower, healthcare futurist.
“We are honored to partner with ASC Communications as a corporate sponsor of this annual conference,” said Andrew Hayek, president and CEO of SCA. “They are an information leader and their publications are required reading for anyone who wants to be well-informed about our industry.”
Surgical Care Affiliates (SCA) focuses on surgery centers, surgical hospitals and hospital system partnerships. A new leadership team has helped to transform the company during the past three years by developing a culture focused on patient care and physicians, hiring more than 25 new senior leaders and building systems and infrastructure in areas like clinical systems, supply chain systems and informatics. SCA currently partners with 20 not-for-profit health systems, including Sutter Health (eight ASCs in partnership), Catholic Health Initiatives (three ASCs in partnership across two markets) and St. Barnabas (a recently announced partnership covering northern New Jersey). SCA also partners with one of the five pilot accountable care organizations in the country — Monarch Healthcare in Orange County, Calif.
