Our Mission, Vision, Values, & Philosophies
MISSION STATEMENT:
HVP will provide a full continuum of development, management, leadership, and consulting services to hospital or physician ambulatory surgery centers with a special emphasis on hospital-physician collaborative relationships such as joint ventures.
VISION STATEMENT:
HVP will be recognized as Surgery Center Specialists and a national leader in the development, management, and consultative support of physician or hospital ambulatory surgery centers and in the specific area of physician-hospital collaboration.
HISTORY:
Healthcare Venture Professionals was founded in 2003 with the goal of helping hospitals develop and manage ambulatory surgery centers. We have helped countless hospitals collaborate with outside physician groups that are interested in investing in joint venture ambulatory surgery centers (JV ASCs). HVP recently celebrated its 16th anniversary and its values remain the same today:
- Providing the highest possible value to our customers.
- Being honest with ourselves, our customers and our business associates.
- Preserving an employee-owned and controlled company culture.
- Striving for excellence – every day.
HVP understands that the value of any ASC will be maximized for physicians and hospital owners by achieving optimal patient satisfaction, doctor/user satisfaction, and financial results.

PHILOSOPHIES:
The goals of any ASC should be consistent with and supportive of the individual and collective goals of the physician or hospital owners from a business, personal, and community-service perspective. Physician or hospital ASCs should be locally governed and controlled. A conservative approach with strong emphasis on legal and regulatory compliance will be used in dealing with all aspects of physician or hospital ASCs to include feasibility analysis/proforma development, syndication/private placement offerings, development and management services, and provision of consultative/support services. Frequent, open and effective communication between and among all parties will directly contribute to the ongoing success of the ASC. Physician/hospital collaboration is a preferred healthcare partnership model. Physicians and hospitals should proactively seek to identify and pursue opportunities for formal collaboration. Physician/hospital partnerships should be seen as a long-term proposition which is supportive of an overall collaborative strategy. In many situations, physician/hospital collaboration can best serve the long-term interests of patients and the community as well as all hospital and physician owners. The results achieved by a formal partnership/joint venture should serve to preserve and strengthen “traditional” physician/hospital relationships. The value of any ASC will be maximized for physicians or hospital owners by achieving optimal patient satisfaction, doctor/user satisfaction, and financial results.
