Scottsdale Healthcare and its partner Sovereign Healthcare have acquired a majority stake in Biltmore Surgical Center, an outpatient surgery facility in Phoenix, US.
Arizona-based Scottsdale Healthcare is expected to expand patient access to off-campus outpatient surgery services and strengthen association with physicians, as a result of the transaction.
Scottsdale Healthcare president and CEO Tom Sadvary said Scottsdale Healthcare is developing quality medical care in outpatient settings outside its three hospital campuses.
"This venture illustrates our commitment to partnerships that are focused on achieving the highest quality care and best patient experience," Sadvary added.

Sovereign Healthcare CEO Jeremy Hogue said, "The transaction with Scottsdale Healthcare only strengthens what Biltmore Surgical Center will be able to provide, and we at Sovereign are excited to be involved in this pro-physician, pro-community effort."

With the completion of the transaction, the Scottsdale Healthcare/Sovereign joint venture will have three majority-owned outpatient surgery centres, with Biltmore Surgical Center joining North Valley Surgery Center in Scottsdale and Paramount Surgery Center of Mesa, in Mesa.
