We're one of the remaining independent groups left in IN. We're a bit behind other states in that it's only been the past few years we're seeing CMG creep into the state, but mostly in NWI, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, and more rural hospitals. The biggest domino to fall of late is Vituity taking the Ascension St. Vincent EDs for the entire state.

We partner with in a MSA with a management group out of TX that has helped us keep overhead low, profitability high, renegotiated insurance contracts and weathered the storms of COVID volumes. Their goal is to keep groups like ours independent and strong. Fingers crossed that we will - we have focused on metrics, pt sat, LOS, & utilization rates for a long time, and we have a team that has built great C-suite relationships, which are critical to keeping our contracts.
