Ascension, one of the nation’s leading Catholic and non-profit health systems, has officially completed its acquisition of AMSURG, bringing together two organizations committed to expanding access to compassionate, high-quality outpatient care across the country.
With the transaction now closed, Ascension’s network expands to 300 ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) nationwide, significantly expanding Ascension’s ability to deliver compassionate, high-quality care in community-based settings and furthering its journey to transform healthcare delivery. This is a critical step in Ascension’s growth strategy, directly responding to the national shift toward the outpatient setting. It increases access to convenient, high-quality, and lower-cost surgical options in community-based settings while optimizing hospital resources for more complex acute care.
“Healthcare is increasingly moving beyond the traditional hospital setting, and this acquisition positions us to lead that transformation,” said Eduardo Conrado, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ascension. “By expanding our ambulatory surgery capabilities, we are making care more accessible, convenient, and affordable for patients, while ensuring our hospitals remain focused on highly specialized acute care. Together, we are building a more integrated, future-ready health system."
“This is an important step forward for AMSURG. Joining Ascension strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality care and expand access for the communities we serve,” said Jeff Snodgrass, AMSURG President & CEO.
AMSURG, long recognized as a national leader in the development, management and operation of ambulatory surgery centers, brings more than three decades of clinical excellence, strong physician partnerships and operational innovation. Its reputation for exceptional outcomes and patient satisfaction further strengthens Ascension’s growing outpatient footprint.
The completion of the transaction reinforces Ascension’s disciplined, forward-looking strategy to ensure long-term sustainability. With the acquisition now finalized, Ascension is advancing its work to build a more connected and value-driven healthcare ecosystem.
