AmSurg Acquired by Ascension | Healthcare M&A Deal

Ascension has acquired AmSurg, a ambulatory surgery business in Missouri, for $3.9B. AmSurg operates ambulatory surgery centers that support outpatient procedures, and Ascension seeks to expand its ASC footprint through strategic acquisition. The Federal Trade Commission proposed a consent order tied to the AmSurg acquisition, requiring Ascension acquisitions to divest seven ASCs as part of the merger acquisition. The healthcare M&A deal is announced and valued at $3.9 billion, reflecting a strategic acquisition by a strategic buyer in MO acquisitions.
