AmSurg Acquired by Ascension | Healthcare M&A Deal

Ascension has acquired AmSurg, a ambulatory surgery business in Missouri, for $3.9 billion. AmSurg operates ambulatory surgery centers and supports outpatient procedures, giving Ascension a larger footprint in Missouri’s ASC market. Ascension acquisitions also extend beyond surgery by adding capabilities in imaging centers and other outpatient services. The merger acquisition is a strategic acquisition by a healthcare system, with the announced healthcare M&A expected to strengthen ambulatory surgery acquisition scale and accelerate MO acquisitions.
