We would like to thank the following companies for becoming founding sponsors of the Orthopedics & Spine Review:
Blue Chip Surgical Center Partners. Blue Chip Surgical was founded by ASC veteran Jeff Leland. It also has great leadership in Jay Rom, Beth Ann Johnston, RN, BS, Richard Roski, MD, FACS, and several others. Only three years old and ten physician-led centers in operation or in the construction phase, Blue Chip has been remarkably successful. The company has a reputation for delivering on its commitments, quickly building trust with the partners and forging strong physician and hospital relationships. Blue Chip is focused on spine and multi-specialty ASCs. Included in Blue Chip’s portfolio of projects are three hospital JVs and three “turnarounds”. Blue Chip holds an equity stake in each project and also serves as a managing partner. For more information, visit www.bluechipsurgical.com.
Practice Partners in Healthcare. Practice Partners takes great pride in the development, management and equity ownership with its physician and hospital partners. Practice Partners is a privately held, Birmingham, Ala.-based company recently capitalized by HealthCor Partners. Specializing in de novo and turn-around situations, Practice Partners’ physician base encompasses a wide array of surgeons with an emphasis in orthopedics. The company model is physician-centric and focused on hands-on management and diverse resources to assure the finest clinical and fiscal outcomes. Employees are experienced and understand the need for expedience in all aspects of the industry. Let Practice Partners in Healthcare assist you in your next surgical center opportunity.

National Surgical Care. National Surgical Care, a nationwide owner and operator of ambulatory surgical centers, focuses on addressing the needs and problems confronting surgery centers across the country. These challenges, which include increasing competition, complex legislative issues and a difficult managed care contracting environment, threaten both the growth and profitability of surgery centers. NSC’s experienced management team offers a high degree of knowledge, skill, understanding and strategic resources for its centers.
NSC specializes in the acquisition and operational enhancement of existing surgery centers and the development of new surgery centers in partnership with hospitals and physicians. Aligning with NSC allows physicians to realize some of the value they have created and gain the resources of a skilled management team. Physicians can then spend more time focusing on patient care as NSC focuses on the business. Currently, National Surgical Care operates 21 surgery centers across the country.
