So You Want to Build an ASC

You too can become a surgicenter success story.

Stan Herrin, Publisher

By now, you've certainly heard the success stories. A group of ophthalmologists, fed up with bureaucracy and looking to gain more control over care, build their own ambulatory surgery center and end up doubling their volume. A community hospital, searching for a way to keep their surgeons, joint venture with an orthopedics group to develop an ASC and suddenly attract business from three counties over. An ENT surgeon with an entrepreneurial bent builds a small, single-specialty facility, which, two years later, becomes a multispecialty center known for its top-quality patient care and stellar staff.
