What makes Meridian different? Quite simply: Questions. We ask a lot of them.
Most industry players create a partnership model, then package it and sell it - a top-down approach. And they have proven that what they've built works.
But we're trying to provide something that is unique with Meridian.
Our team knows from years of working with physicians and forming successful ambulatory surgery center (ASC) and hospital partnerships that every deal is different. What works for one physician or physician group doesn't necessarily work for another.
It's simple: Success is defined differently by every individual.
So, instead of telling physicians what we think they want to achieve out of a surgery center partnership with us, we have created a "ground-up" approach at Meridian. We are a flexible and nimble organization that looks to tailor each partnership to meet the needs of our physician partners. We will do whatever it takes to make each partnership as successful and as value-added as is possible.
In order to do that, we're spending lots of time listening, instead of talking. Unless, of course, we're asking questions.
We have the financial capabilities to match any of our competitors in pursuit of a deal, but we recognize that what really matters is whether or not our partners are happy.
Your business is local and we want it to stay that way.
Driven by our unique and proven PEAK management approach, we concentrate on the four cornerstones of Performance, Efficiency, Achievement and Knowledge to operate at a local level to take our partnerships to new heights.
Most importantly is what you do with the partnership once you get it.
We have greatly reduced the industry standard ratio of facilities to operations giving our physician partners the personal attention to detail and access to senior management they need to ensure the relationship is centered on communications, not a standard formula.
