Under his tenure, The Spine Hospital’s patient satisfaction became among the top 5 percent in the country, the May 25 report said. Mr. Blair plans to go into a “pseudo-retirement” and plans to do consulting work.

His successor has been chosen, but their identity was not revealed. Mr. Blair said he had a reputation for helping struggling hospitals. However, he stayed with The Spine Hospital because it “felt like home,” he told the Business Report.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
