“We expect this highly collaborative partnership with Privia Health to support our continued growth and expansion plans as we maintain our focus on delivering high-quality, short-stay surgical care in Great Falls and across the State of Montana,” said Surgery Partners CEO, Eric Evans. “Privia Health offers a breadth of solutions and expertise that enhance our clinical operations that we believe will allow our physician providers to focus more of their time with our patients. We are excited to partner with Privia Health and to explore additional opportunities in other markets across the U.S.”
Privia Health CEO, Shawn Morris, added, “We are extremely pleased to align with Surgery Partners as we enter the state of Montana, another important geography for Privia Health as we continue to expand our model nationwide.
