Well, thank you for taking the time.

And let's start our conversation with the ASC market.

In the U.S., it's projected to reach $60.8 billion by 2030 and continues to experience strong year-over-year growth.

From your perspective, what are the most significant trends and market forces driving this expansion, and how should ASC leaders be preparing today?

Absolutely.

And from AI and robotic surgeries to advanced EHR systems, technology remains both a make or break factor and a critical driver of ASC operations at scale.

So how do you see deeper tech integration shaping the way ASCs deliver care and manage their business over the next few years?

Awesome.

And kind of a follow up to that, I'd love to dig in a little deeper.

Can you identify one specific technology or innovation that stands out to you as especially transformative?

Absolutely.

And with 60 percent of health systems,

Considering ASC joint ventures and many ASCs already partnering with systems in their communities, what opportunities do you see for collaboration, whether with providers or vendors, to strengthen patient care and operational efficiency?

And is there anything we didn't touch on or any final thoughts you'd like to share as we wrap up this conversation?

Absolutely.

Well, Patrick, thank you so much for sharing these thoughts and insights today on the podcast and joining me again.

We are recording live at the 31st Annual Business and Operations of ASCs.
