Community Health Systems (CHS), headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, is maintaining its ambulatory surgery center (ASC) expansion strategy despite a slight dip in lower-acuity volumes during the first quarter of 2025 [4]. According to CEO Tim Hingtgen, the company is adding one to two ASCs per quarter and sees long-term durability in diversifying surgery locations [4]. The health system is balancing acute care with ambulatory sites, including the acquisition of 10 urgent care centers in Tucson, Arizona, and investments in ASCs [4]. CHS reported a 0.6% increase in net operating revenue for the first quarter, totaling $3.16 billion, with growth in robotic surgery case volumes attributed to investments in advanced surgical platforms [4].
