This Week In Surgery Centers
Your weekly surgery center podcast
If you’re in the ASC industry, then you’re in the right place.
Every week our hosts will recap the latest news impacting ASCs, and share an interesting conversation we had with our featured guest. New episodes released every Tuesday!
Sean Hartzell is a Managing Director at VMG Health, where he advises healthcare organizations on strategy and capital planning. Sean joins us this week to break down how ASC leaders should think about funding growth. He walks through the key differences between debt and equity, how to calculate the “true” cost of major investments beyond the upfront price, and what factors can make or break a new initiative.
In our data segment, we’re talking all about spine. Spine is being called one of the fastest-growing ASC service lines, driven by a combination of CMS policy changes, payer pressure, and continued advancements in minimally invasive techniques. We’re going to spend the episode focusing specifically on spine ASCs and the potential opportunity for growth based on data-driven insights.
