This Week In Surgery Centers

Today, we’re diving into the latest insights from VMG Health’s newly released report, ASC Leader Expectations for 2025. This report is based on a survey of 137 ASC leaders—including administrators, CEOs, VPs, and clinical directors—from both independent and joint-venture centers. To break down the key takeaways, our host, Nick Latz, sat down with Colin Park, Managing Director at VMG Health. Together, they explore what ASC leaders are prioritizing for the year ahead and what trends Colin and his team uncovered.

After my conversation with Colin, we’ll switch to our Data & Insights segment. HST released our annual State of the Industry report in September, which analyzed client data from 590 surgery centers. Today we’ll spend a few minutes breaking down on-time starts. We’ll look at which specialties have the longest delays, which have the shortest, and the operational impacts of starting surgeries late.
