Here are four updates on the ASC market in Texas reported by Becker's since Aug. 2:
1. Webster, Texas-based CLS Health acquired Southeast Houston Cardiology, further expanding into the Houston metropolitan area. The acquisition comes shortly after CLS' merger with Clear Lake Cardiovascular Consultants.

3. Lubbock, Texas-based Covenant High Plains Surgery Center has become the first ASC in the region to perform a robotic sacrocolpopexy using the da Vinci X robot.
4. Brentwood, Tenn.-based Surgery Partners formed a strategic partnership with Dallas-based Methodist Health System, its third in 2023, following its partnerships with Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health and Columbus-based Ohio Health earlier this year.
