Most physicians find that providing patient care and running their practice is more than a full time job. Building or operating a center is time consuming and requires constant supervision. A solid and experienced business partner like SHP allows physicians to maintain their patient focus while their business partner manages the project's planning, development and ongoing operations and shares in the center's risks.

Feasibility depends on three key ingredients: 1) case volume, 2) types of cases and 3) payer mix. Talk with SHP about a strategy for achieving diversification and balance.
Surgery centers are entities with high fixed costs and low variable costs. Once you have your rent, salaries, and other fixed costs covered, most additional case volume added translates directly into profits. Back to top.
By definition, a partner has an interest in the business. However, that interest extends beyond merely an economic interest. A business partner's primary responsibility is to ensure the center's success, both economic and operational. A business partner will not only craft the center's strategic and business plan, but implement the plan as well. Unlike a consultant, a business partner will be held accountable and shares in the financial risks with the physician partners. Back to top.
SHP's management and affiliation team has more than 50 years combined experience in center development and operation. SHP's extensive experience and knowledge minimize investment risks for our physician partners while maximizing center efficiencies, profitability and investment returns.
As part of the management team of Specialty Surgicenters, Inc. the principals of SHP were instrumental in the development, ownership and successful management of 10 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. Back to top.
