Tenet, a diversified healthcare services company, completed the acquisition of a portfolio of ambulatory surgery centers from SurgCenter Development, a developer of physician-owned ASCs, for $1.1bn. “We are extremely pleased to announce this transformative transaction and partnership, which builds upon USPI’s position as a premier growth partner and SCD’s track record of developing high-quality centers with leading physicians. By welcoming these centers into our company, USPI will maintain its reach as the largest ambulatory platform for musculoskeletal services, a high-growth service line. We are also creating a pathway for further expansion through a partnership that pairs the expert development and operational capabilities of our two organizations," Saum Sutaria, Tenet Healthcare CEO.
