Briefings

Nonprofit Bon Secours Mercy Health announced a $5.7 billion acquisition of Surgery Partners, a chain of over 200 ambulatory surgery centers spanning 30 states, expected to close in Q1 2027. This deal strengthens the Catholic health system's profitability and leverages its position against health insurers, following similar acquisitions by Ascension. The acquisition deepens ties with private equity firm Bain Capital.

Key points

• Bon Secours Mercy Health plans to acquire Surgery Partners, a publicly traded chain of more than 200 ambulatory surgery centers, short-stay hospitals, and multispecialty physician practices in 30 states.
• The deal is valued at $5.7 billion and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027.

Context

Nonprofit health systems are rapidly acquiring ambulatory surgery centers as procedures migrate to outpatient settings under Medicare payment changes and commercial insurers shift members to lower-cost facilities. Bon Secours is joining a trend where systems like Ascension have also purchased similar networks.
