Surgery Partners, Inc. is an American healthcare services company headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee. The company operates a network of surgical facilities, including ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), surgical hospitals, and physician practices across the United States. Surgery Partners is publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol SGRY.

History

[edit]

Surgery Partners, Inc. was established in 2004 as a healthcare services company specializing in the development and management of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). In May 2011, the company acquired NovaMed, Inc., a publicly traded operator of ASCs with majority ownership in 37 centers across 19 states.[1] The transaction, valued at approximately $214 million, included the assumption or repayment of about $105 million of NovaMed's debt. Post-acquisition, NovaMed became a wholly owned subsidiary of Surgery Partners.

In November 2014, Surgery Partners acquired Symbion Holdings Corporation for $792 million.[2] This deal added 55 surgical facilities—including 49 ASCs and six surgical hospitals—to its network.

The company went public in October 2015, listing on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol SGRY.[3] In 2017, Bain Capital Private Equity acquired a controlling interest in Surgery Partners and supported its acquisition of National Surgical Healthcare.[4]

In 2018, Surgery Partners agreed to pay $55,252.32 to the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) for allegedly violating the Civil Monetary Penalties Law.[5] This incident occurred after Surgery Partners hired an individual it knew or should have known was excluded from participation in Federal healthcare programs. Surgery Partners self-disclosed its conduct with the OIG.

Operations

[edit]

As of 2025, Surgery Partners operates more than 200 healthcare facilities across 33 U.S. states. Its network includes a variety of outpatient surgical centers, surgical hospitals, and diagnostic services. The organization collaborates with over 4,600 physicians across specialties including orthopedics, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and pain management.

Corporate Governance

[edit]

Key members of the company’s executive leadership include:

  • Wayne S. DeVeydt, Executive Chairman
  • Eric Evans, Chief Executive Officer
  • David Doherty, Chief Financial Officer

Other members of the leadership team oversee strategy, operations, and legal affairs.

Strategic Partnerships and Developments

[edit]

Surgery Partners has pursued growth through partnerships and strategic investments. In 2022, it formed a joint venture with ValueHealth to develop and operate outpatient surgical facilities.[6] In 2024, the company was added to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

In January 2025, Bain Capital, which held a 39% equity stake in Surgery Partners at the time, submitted a proposal to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of the company.[7] In June of the same year, Surgery Partners declined Bain Capital's bid to go private and remained a publicly traded company.[8]

Affiliated Partners

[edit]

Surgery Partners maintains partnerships with health systems and physician organizations to extend its service model. Notable partnerships include:

  • ValueHealth, for the co-development of ambulatory surgical facilities[6]
  • Duly Health and Care, to broaden outpatient surgery services[9]
  • OhioHealth, in a statewide ambulatory surgery joint venture in Ohio[10]
