Dow Jones Description

Our company was formed in 1992 for the purpose of developing, acquiring and operating ambulatory surgery centers, or ASCs, in partnership with physicians throughout the United States. An AmSurg surgery center is typically located adjacent to or in close proximity to the medical practices of our physician partners. Each of our surgery centers provides a narrow range of high volume, lower-risk surgical procedures and has been designed with a cost structure that enables us to charge fees which we believe are generally less than those charged by hospitals for similar services performed on an outpatient basis. As of December 31, 2008, we owned a majority interest in 189 surgery centers in 32 states and the District of Columbia and three centers under development. In addition, we acquired a majority interest in two surgery centers effective January 1, 2009.
