About the Company

The mission of Specialty Health Partners is to enter into true partnerships with physicians and other healthcare providers to cooperatively develop, own and operate high-quality, successful Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) in the United States.

Specialty Health Partners was formed in June 2005 by James E. Chamberlin, Robert S. Cowles, III, M.D. and Harold R. Reynolds, who were also owners and founding directors of Specialty Surgicenters, Inc. Specialty Health Partners is a member of the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association and several state ASC associations. Specialty Health Partners maintains offices in Roswell, Georgia, a northeastern suburb of Atlanta, and at Cowles Clinic at Reynolds Plantation, Greensboro, Georgia.

As part of the management team of Specialty Surgicenters, Inc., the principals of Specialty Health Partners were instrumental in the development, ownership and successful management of 10 multi-specialty ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and lithotripsy centers over a 10-year period. After engaging in due diligence with three nationally-recognized publicly-traded companies, SSI sold its multi-million dollar minority equity position in its existing centers to United Surgical Partners International in December 2004.

SSI also assisted its physician partners in the sale of a percentage of their ownership interests to USPI. This created a true Win-Win scenario for the partnership.
