Why More Ambulatory Surgery Centers Are Rethinking Equity-Based Management

Equity-based partnerships have long been a common path for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) seeking operational support and scale — but a growing number of ASC leaders are starting to question the tradeoffs.

 
In this conversation, Scott Becker sits down with MedHQ CEO Erik Miller to unpack the quiet shift happening across the ASC landscape and why so many operators are taking a closer look at non-equity management partnerships.
 
Topics include:
 
  • The operational and financial pressures reshaping ASC partnerships
  • Why some operators are moving away from equity-based structures
  • What a flexible, non-equity management model can offer

The challenge is aligning strategically without turning an ASC into a mini-hospital. Hospitals guide strategy, not operations. ASCs are fast, physician-led, and efficient. Let them work the way they work.
