Description

Josh Rudd recently opened Knoxville Spine Surgery Center, his first time leading the launch of a brand-new facility. I sat down with Josh to hear what the process was really like, from the initial idea all the way to their very first procedure. Whether you're planning a new build or just curious about what it takes to open an ASC from scratch, this conversation is packed with first-hand insights you'll find both valuable and engaging.

After my conversation with Josh, we’ll head into our Data & Insights segment. HST released its annual State of the Industry report in September, based on data from 590 surgery centers. Today, we’re diving into expected vs. actual OR start times and sharing practical tips to help keep your schedule running on time.
