One Partner. Fewer Headaches. Better Outcomes.
ASCend Specialists exists to simplify the business of running an ambulatory surgery center — without compromising independence.
Too often, independent centers are forced to juggle a patchwork of vendors, contracts, and consultants for HR, payroll, revenue cycle, IT, compliance, marketing, and more. That fragmentation creates friction, inefficiency, and unnecessary risk.
ASCend replaces complexity with clarity. We bring these functions together under one cohesive, aligned partnership — so ASCs can focus on what truly matters: patients, physicians, staff, and the long-term health of their community.
Independence Comes First — Always
Every ASCend Network facility remains independently owned and governed. Local boards retain full authority over strategic direction, clinical decision-making, and leadership.
ASCend does not replace local control — we strengthen it by providing the operational infrastructure and expertise that independent centers often struggle to access on their own.
Purely Value-Adding by Design
ASCend is selective by intention. We only pursue relationships where we believe we can deliver meaningful, measurable value — value that would otherwise be difficult or impossible for a center to achieve independently.
Our primary focus is simple:
-
Strengthen independent surgery centers
-
Support the physicians and staff who serve them
-
Preserve local access to high-quality care
-
Ensure the surrounding community is better off because the center exists
That principle guides every partnership we explore. If a relationship does not benefit the center and its community, it’s not the right fit — for them or for us.
Building a New ASC?
Whether you're an independent physician or a group looking to establish a new ambulatory surgery center, we provide the strategic guidance, operational expertise, and industry connections needed to turn your vision into reality.
