It's been more than one year since AmSurg officially emerged under new ownership as a separate and independent entity from Envision Healthcare, its former parent company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2023.
With Jeff Snodgrass as its new CEO, AmSurg has made huge moves to acquire new ASCs.
Here are eight updates on AmSurg from the past year:
1. In October, AmSurg partnered with healthcare communication company Dialog Health to enhance patient communication. The partnership leverages Dialog Health's two-way texting platform, which allows patients to respond directly to messages.
