Sheridan, the Physician Services division of AmSurg Corp.
(NASDAQ: AMSG), today announced its acquisition of Premier
Emergency Medical Specialists (PEMS), which marks Sheridan’s
initial entry into the emergency medicine specialty in the Phoenix
market and further strengthens AmSurg’s overall presence in
Arizona. PEMS has 49 physicians providing care in the market and is
the exclusive provider of emergency services for two Dignity Health
hospitals – Chandler Regional Medical Center and Mercy Gilbert
Medical Center.
Dr. Evan Leibner, President and Chief Executive Officer of PEMS,
commented, “Premier has a long history of delivering high quality
care to the patients who visit our hospital client emergency rooms.
We believe that by combining forces with AmSurg-Sheridan, PEMS has
found a partner who shares our longstanding commitment to clinical
excellence. AmSurg-Sheridan’s presence in the greater Phoenix
market is complementary to ours, and their commitment to help us
grow and enhance our platform is exciting for the future of our
organization. They share and will help us maintain our
physician-centric culture, and we believe we are now much better
positioned for growth and the evolution of healthcare.”
Robert Coward, President of Sheridan and Chief Development
Officer for AmSurg, added, “We are appreciative of this group’s
vote of confidence in our operations and our growing Arizona
presence. The PEMS emergency group will be the third
AmSurg-Sheridan hospital-based specialty in Arizona, joining
Sheridan’s existing anesthesia and neonatal hospital practices. Our
three specialty practices combined serve over 50 Arizona hospitals
and ambulatory surgery centers, and we expect to continue growing
our Arizona network in the years ahead. This acquisition is part of
our ongoing effort to identify and develop relationships with
providers in AmSurg Ambulatory Services’ core markets who share
Sheridan’s commitment to best practices and can benefit from our
infrastructure and expertise.”
