MARKET SUMMARY:

United Surgical Partners, Inc. (USPI) 

United Surgical Partners International is an experienced and trusted partner in some of the nation’s most successful ambulatory surgical networks. We are dedicated to providing high-quality, lower-cost solutions as various reform initiatives unfold in the communities we serve.  We provide strategic solutions for physicians, health systems and those paying for the cost of health care services, such as employers, insurance companies and government programs.

Today we are the largest ambulatory surgery platform in the country, with more than 535 surgical facilities. We are also part of Tenet Healthcare, a unique and diversified enterprise which enables us to have access to additional resources and a greater support system.

Our mission is to care for every patient and their family as if they were our own. Each patient, each family, each and every time. Our operating model is scalable, but also flexible enough to adapt to the needs of each market.

Our strategy enables our partners and other aligned constituents to benefit from the high-quality, lower-cost settings in our facilities under financial structures that work for them. Our partner relationships often expand into new ventures and a broader market presence which enhances our growth prospects and strategic position within a market to better serve patients and our physician partners.

Health systems partner with us to further execute their ambulatory network strategies and fulfill their missions and ministries.  We align with our health system partners both clinically and economically to enhance their facility network, while providing more access, as the importance of moving business to shorter stay settings elevates.

Our physicians align with us to solidify their market position as networks form and narrow.  Our physicians partner with us to increase their productivity, better control the outcomes of the facilities in which they practice, and to ensure excellence in the experience of their patients and families. http://www.uspi.com/.
