Optum subsidiary SCA Health, one of the largest ASC operators in the U.S., has expanded its reach with the acquisition of Exton, Pa.-based U.S. Digestive Health in early 2025.
The deal adds significant scale to Optum’s portfolio. U.S. Digestive Health includes more than 250 gastroenterology providers across 40 practice sites and 24 ASCs in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The organization itself was formed in 2019 through the consolidation of three regional gastroenterology groups, backed by private equity investment.
