May 1, 2023 – Intermountain Health and Surgery Partners have signed a collaboration agreement for the management of existing Intermountain Health ambulatory surgical centers in Utah and Idaho and development of ASCs in other select markets.
Surgery Partners is a leading healthcare services company with a differentiated outpatient delivery model focused on providing high-quality, cost-effective solutions for surgical and related ancillary care in support of both patients and physicians.
“While Intermountain has a strong record of high-quality, effective, and efficient operations across our care facilities, we recognize the tremendous value an experienced, best-in-class outpatient surgical center operator like Surgery Partners brings to the table,” said Mike Clark, executive lead of ASCs at Intermountain Health. “Combining their expertise and experience with ours will add significant value for our surgery patients and caregivers and will establish an operating model upon which we can build as we continue to expand outpatient care at other locations,” he added.
“At Surgery Partners, our mission is to enhance patient quality of life through partnership,” said Eric Evans, Chief Executive Officer. “Surgery Partners is an organization deeply committed to providing quality, compassionate, and personalized care, to meet the needs of our diverse patients, employees, and physician partners in the communities in which we serve. We have tremendous alignment with and respect for Intermountain Health, an organization that shares our focus on providing high-quality affordable care to the communities we serve. We look forward to joining with Intermountain Health in their existing markets on this journey to improve health care delivery.”
