I agree the surgery centers have been a great addition to the medical community. If I remember correctly, surgery centers were developed by hospitals so that they could operate without the high overhead of the hospital based OR. With the advent of minimally invasive surgery, plastic surgery, and other well patient procedures the surgery center has flourished, while the hospitals have floundered.

My experience includes business development and building of physician owned surgery centers and imaging centers and I do not recall meeting with any potential physican investors who did not have a profit motive as the primary reason for starting the business.

Nothing wrong with that, unless it clouds your priorities. It does bother me that the 2.0 MRIs and 64 slice CTs are almost all in hospitals while much cheaper equipment in off site centers receive pretty much the same reimbursement.
