Description
Not every ASC chooses private equity to fuel growth. This panel explores how independent centers are thriving without PE backing, focusing on disciplined operations, physician alignment, organic growth, and alternative capital strategies. Leaders share how ASCs can remain competitive, financially strong, and strategically flexible while preserving control and long-term independence.
