Regent Develops New Surgery Center in Anchorage, AK 

Westchester, IL (Dec. 9, 2010) — Regent Surgical Health, a leading manager and developer of ambulatory surgery centers, is pleased to announce the official opening of the Surgery Center of Anchorage in Anchorage, AK (SCoA).  The new facility is a joint venture between Regent and 19 local physicians.

The new state-of-the-art full service surgery center features two Operating Rooms, plus a dedicated GI suite and Pain Suite. Initially, the Surgery Center of Anchorage will be providing services in GYN, General Surgery, Colo Rectal, ENT, Pain, GI and Urology.

"Over 2 years ago my OB-GYN group decided to partner with an experienced corporate ASC management company to enhance our center,” says Carol Mitchell-Springer, MD, President, Board of Directors, Surgery Center of Anchorage. “We explored many different models and eventually chose Regent Surgical Health for their experience, reputation, great references and partnership model. With Regent's outstanding help my 18 physician partners and I are proud to be opening a center to provide patients with the best outpatient medical care available in Anchorage, Alaska."

“The ASC market is very strong across the US,” says Regent Chief Development Officer Jeffrey Simmons.  “Although Anchorage is a traditional physician-only model, we are seeing incredible interest in Hospital Joint Ventures. We are in the midst of developing/acquiring a number of facilities, which we will announce shortly.”
