AMSURG Expands Its Surgical Reach in Louisiana

On April 15, 2025, AMSURG Corporation, a leading name in ambulatory surgery center services, announced its latest strategic acquisition of Pinnacle Surgery Center, located in Covington, Louisiana. This leap of growth marks a significant advancement in AMSURG’s mission to enhance patient care and accessibility in the region.

The Pinnacle Surgery Center is a modern outpatient facility that spans an impressive 8,787 square feet and is equipped with three operating rooms along with an additional procedure room. With a focus on operational efficiency and clinical excellence, the center is designed to provide high-quality, cost-effective surgical care to patients, underscoring AMSURG's commitment to redefining surgical services in urban settings.

According to John Lamberth, AMSURG's Chief Development Officer, the addition of Pinnacle Surgery Center to their growing portfolio is an exciting development. He stated, “We are thrilled to welcome Pinnacle Surgery Center to the AMSURG family. Their outstanding team and commitment to patient-centered care is evident through the relationships they have built and the exceptional service they've delivered to their community.” This statement epitomizes AMSURG’s philosophy of delivering not just clinical procedures, but fostering a supportive environment for the patients.

The Pinnacle Surgery Center boasts a skilled team of 17 physicians who specialize in various fields, including spine, pain management, and ophthalmology. Patients requiring extended recovery periods will benefit from the facility’s capacity for 23-hour overnight stays, a feature designed to ensure comfort and comprehensive care during recovery.

One of the key advantages of this acquisition is that it enables AMSURG to further its mission of increasing access to same-day surgical care within Louisiana. By integrating Pinnacle Surgery Center's operations with its existing network of over 250 surgery centers nationwide, AMSURG plans to enhance the quality of care and improve service delivery.

“I am looking forward to combining our expertise with theirs to further elevate the quality and accessibility of same-day surgical care in the region,” Lamberth elaborated, reflecting a strong vision for the future of surgical services.

AMSURG's commitment to innovation and strategic growth in the healthcare sector is emblematic of its core values which include Care Deeply, Champion Excellence, Cultivate Integrity, and Celebrate Teamwork.
