Rollups, takeovers and buyouts. Oh my!

With increasing fear about private equity in health care, the MTVA Board is joined by Dr. Marco Fernandez and Jack Dillon of the Association for Independent Medicine to discuss their perspectives on private equity and best practices for maintaining or reclaiming an independent practice. 

The Association for Independent Medicine (AIM) believes that maintaining physician control of healthcare decision-making results in the highest quality care for patients and the most efficient use of healthcare resources. The organization supports independent medical practices through education, practice management support and advocacy.

“There’s no better advocate for a patient than an independent physician.” – Dr. Fernandez

Marco Fernandez, MD is President of AIM. He is a cardiac anesthesiologist and President of Midwest Anesthesia Partners, a physician-owned group serving the greater Chicago area.

Jack Dillon, MSHR, MBA is Executive Director of AIM. He’s the CEO of Anesthesia Practice Consultants, an independent group providing anesthesia and sedation services across Western Michigan. 

Though our guests come from anesthesiology, AIM supports practices across diverse specialties who want to be independent – from primary care to cardiology, even veterinary and dental! 

Follow AIM on social media for association news and upcoming events like the virtual AIM Toolkit Series discussions about independent medicine issues - Facebook, Instagram  and LinkedIn
