Question: Where do you think consolidation in the GI field is headed within five years or so?
Dr. Kevin Finnegan: We’re gonna see more of it. Prospective partners that I speak with and individuals that are coming out of fellowship, you know, we talk about One GI and I tell them that if you’ve not heard about consolidation, you will. It’s only going to become more prevalent as physicians want to maintain their independence, but need to have more of a say in how that healthcare is delivered.
