Three powerhouse GI platforms continue to dominate physician-practice acquisitions and ASC expansion nationwide:
GI Alliance (TX)
~1,000 physicians | 400+ sites | 20 states
Now partially owned by Cardinal Health ($2.8B deal in 2024), GI Alliance is accelerating outpatient expansion with new ASCs in Missouri and Arkansas and partnerships to boost admin efficiency and GI clinical trial access.
Gastro Health (FL)
400+ physicians | 150+ locations
Backed by OMERS Private Equity, Gastro Health is leaning heavily on ASC-focused JV strategy in major metro markets and recently strengthened its clinical leadership team to fuel growth.
United Digestive (GA)
129 physicians | 80+ sites
Powered by Kohlberg & Co., UD continues to build a regional ASC network across the Southeast through acquisitions (e.g., Gastro MD, Greater Orlando) and strategic physician recruitment.
