Global Vascular Solutions (“GVS”), an owner and operator of outpatient surgery centers for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, recently launched with the acquisition of three ambulatory surgery centers in the Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona markets. GVS is a division of Global Nephrology Solutions (“GNS”), one of the largest physician-led and physician-owned kidney care platforms in the United States.
GVS acquired the three centers located in Peoria, Tempe, and Tucson from Arizona-based SKI Vascular Center, a GNS partner practice. The acquisition brings nearly 50 employees to GVS and serves more than 2,500 patients annually.
“GVS aims to become a national leader in transforming the delivery of outpatient surgical care for ESRD patients,” said Rajiv Poduval, M.D., FASN, founder and CEO of GNS. “Our partnership with SKI Vascular strengthens our commitment to reducing costs through driving better outcomes, decreasing hospitalizations and improving the patient experience.”
This strategic move further demonstrates the company’s position as a leading kidney care platform focused on improving patient outcomes and expanding the scope of services for nephrologists and their patients. Through access to ambulatory surgery centers, ESRD patients benefit from minimally invasive procedures that produce better outcomes, lower readmission rates and, ultimately, improve quality of life.
“Purchasing the ambulatory surgery centers allows us to remain committed to our physicians and patients through every step of their treatment, from office visit to bedside,” continued Poduval. “At GNS, we know that keeping our providers at the center of care delivery and empowering our patients are both key in kidney care.”
Poduval added, “With the launch of GVS, we now have an opportunity to partner with a leading team of physicians and clinicians that are committed to providing the highest level of patient care and surgical outcomes. We are thrilled to begin working with SKI Vascular as a premier ASC platform that will help us scale our footprint nationally and further support our growing nephrology network.”
In the future, GVS has plans to expand its presence into additional states, particularly where they have affiliated GNS practices. This will develop an integrated kidney care platform to support the delivery of high-quality care in the markets that GNS serves.
