Reimbursement is tightening. Operating costs keep climbing. Competition is accelerating.

Yet some orthopedic and spine surgeons are doing more than surviving — they’re redesigning their business models to protect autonomy, expand access to capital, and materially grow compensation.

This session goes beyond theory. Hear directly from national orthopedic leaders who are actively building next-generation partnership models with health systems, ASC operators, and private equity — and what these structures mean for surgeon income, governance, and long-term value creation.

You’ll learn how leading organizations are:

• Creating multi-party joint ventures that align surgeons, hospitals, ASCs, and investors
• Unlocking new income streams beyond wRVUs
• Preserving physician leadership while scaling platforms
• Positioning practices for durability, growth, and optionality in a volatile market

Whether you’re independent, hospital-aligned, or part of a platform, this panel delivers practical insight into what’s working now — and what forward-thinking surgeons are doing differently.
