AmSurg Corp.

AmSurg was formed in 1992 for the purpose of developing, acquiring and operating practice-based ambulatory surgery centers in partnerships with physician practice groups throughout the United States. An AmSurg surgery center is typically located adjacent to or in close vicinity of the specialty medical practice of a physician group partner's office. Each of the surgery centers provides a narrow range of high volume, lower-risk surgical procedures, generally in a single specialty. On December 31, 2008, AmSurg owned a majority interest in 189 continuing centers in operation and had three centers under development.
