Grand Island Surgery Center

What Grand Island Surgery Center does

Grand Island Surgery Center, LLC is a single-site ambulatory surgery center (ASC) located at 3610 Richmond Circle, Grand Island, Nebraska. Established in 1998 as a joint venture between a group of Grand Island physicians and Saint Francis Medical Center, it commenced operations in October 1999 following state licensure and Medicare certification. The facility comprises four major operating rooms and two rooms dedicated to gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, and is staffed to provide outpatient procedures across 18 medical specialties including anesthesiology, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, ENT, pain management, podiatry, urology, obstetrics/gynecology, and dentistry.

The center's operating model is built around the ambulatory surgery center economics of specialization, throughput, and cost efficiency. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Coventry Health Care of Nebraska, Great Plains Health, Midlands Choice, Tricare, Railroad Retirement Board, and Workers Compensation, and supplements these with a CareCredit financing arrangement for underinsured patients. Patient billing is supported by a PatientNotebook online payment portal. The center reports approximately 7,000 surgical cases annually, a 98% patient satisfaction score, and a surgical site infection rate below the national average, with patient savings of 40-50% versus hospital-based surgery cited as the primary value proposition.

Distribution is local and referral-driven: patients are directed to the facility by primary-care physicians and specialists across its service specialties, with the company website (grandislandsc.com) serving as the only digital marketing surface. Patient acquisition rests almost entirely on physician referrals and word-of-mouth; no outbound sales motion, paid acquisition, or multi-site footprint is indicated. Revenue is generated on a transactional / fee-for-service basis, billed primarily to third-party payers, with no disclosed pricing, subscription, or value-based payment components.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Direct peers

• Ambulatory Surgical Centers of America (ASCOA): ASCOA is a privately held ASC management and development company specializing in multi-specialty ambulatory surgery centers and physician-owned facilities. It is a direct peer given its focus on community-based multi-specialty ASCs similar in scale and scope to GISC.
• Physicians Endoscopy: Physicians Endoscopy develops and manages GI-focused ambulatory endoscopy centers with hospital-physician JV structures. It is a relevant peer for GISC's two dedicated GI endoscopic procedure rooms and its specialty mix.
• ASD Management: ASD Management provides management services to physician-owned multi-specialty ASCs nationwide. It is a direct peer in business model (multi-specialty ASC management for independent and hospital-affiliated facilities) and comparable to GISC in scale and operating approach.
• Surgery Partners: Surgery Partners is a publicly traded multi-specialty ASC operator running ~180+ short-stay surgical facilities across the U.S. It is the most directly comparable peer to GISC in terms of multi-specialty ASC business model, payor mix, and surgical case mix.
• Regent Surgical Health: Regent Surgical Health develops, owns, and manages ASCs through hospital-physician joint ventures closely mirroring GISC's JV structure with Saint Francis Medical Center. Its hospital partnership model makes it a strong comparable on governance and operating approach.

Broad incumbents

• HCA Healthcare: HCA Healthcare operates ~190+ ASCs and a national network of hospitals. It is a broad incumbent that competes with independent ASCs in many markets for both physician referrals and commercial payor contracts.
• SCA Health (Optum): SCA Health, owned by Optum/UnitedHealth Group, operates ~320+ ASCs and surgical hospitals nationally. It is a broad incumbent in the same ambulatory surgery category GISC operates in, though with significantly more scale and a payor-integrated ownership structure.
• USPI (United Surgical Partners International): USPI, a subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare, is the largest ASC operator in the U.S. with 480+ facilities. It competes in the same multi-specialty outpatient surgery space as GISC but at vastly greater scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Tenet Healthcare: Tenet Healthcare is the parent of USPI and operates hospitals alongside its ASC business. It is a broad incumbent competitor and potential strategic acquirer given its ambulatory expansion strategy and ownership of the largest ASC platform.

Regional players

• CHI Health St. Francis: CHI Health St. Francis (part of CommonSpirit Health) is GISC's actual JV partner and the dominant regional hospital system in Grand Island, NE. It is a regional incumbent whose strategic priorities directly shape GISC's referral base and competitive positioning.
