NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, April 5, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Gramercy Surgery Center and CareMount Medical today announced a partnership in New York City to ensure the award-winning multispecialty surgery centers are staffed with CareMount’s anesthesiologists for outpatient surgeries performed in both Gramercy’s Manhattan and Queens facilities. This partnership builds on a strong pre-existing working relationship between CareMount’s New York City-based surgical providers and Gramercy Surgery Center.

“A strong anesthesia program is vital to the success of any ambulatory surgery center,” says Austin F. Cheng, Esq., CEO of Gramercy Surgery Center. “By placing CareMount anesthesiologists at our Manhattan and Queens facilities, it provides a level of consistency and quality that our surgeons and patients expect and deserve.”

“CareMount Medical is proud of its strong history of providing quality anesthesia care in ambulatory settings throughout New York,” says Dr. Scott Hayworth, CEO and Market Leader, Optum Tri-State and CEO, CareMount Health Solutions, LLC. “By teaming up with Gramercy Surgery Center, we are growing anesthesia capabilities in New York City, and we are supporting our New York City-based surgeons who are already performing procedures at Gramercy facilities.”

Gramercy Surgery Center and CareMount Medical see outpatient surgeries trending away from hospital-based facilities and flowing into freestanding ambulatory surgery centers during the next several years. “In-network multispecialty surgery centers such as Gramercy are becoming a vital part of New York’s healthcare infrastructure,” says Dr. Rafael Axen, Senior Medical Director at CareMount Medical. “Patients, providers, and payers are looking to move cases into the lowest-cost setting without sacrificing quality of care. It’s a trend that has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Though CareMount Medical will be providing anesthesia services to Gramercy Surgery Center, the private outpatient surgery facilities remain unaffiliated with major health systems and continue to work with all credentialed surgeons across a dozen surgical specialties.
