Approximately 40% of anesthesia practices across the country remain independent, and that number is rapidly decreasing. Those still in private practice are viewed as potential prey. They are vulnerable to corporate and private equity buy-outs and hospital takeovers. The ever-evolving healthcare landscape is riddled with uncertainties, potential pitfalls and fears, especially for the private practice medical sector. The aim of our campaign is to spread awareness of these takeovers, start a discussion, and offer tools and information to smaller privately held anesthesiology groups that wish to stay private.
