Our coalition with PE provides the ideal business structure, and we welcome their experience and expertise in addressing a plethora of management, payment, and regulatory challenges in a changing practice environment. We were very impressed with their team throughout our discussions to bring them onboard as a business partner. The flexibility they showed along the way, as well as their concern with maintaining the physician's individuality, was instrumental in solidifying the relationship. PE's geographic coverage in the tristate area should lead to the opportunity of further developing value-based contracts, which already exist in our GI practice, Digestive Healthcare Center. We expect that their involvement as our partners will align our financial interests on multiple levels and allow the physicians to continue delivering excellent healthcare in a value-based world," said Charles Accurso, MD, FACG, Medical Director, CJASC.
