COMPASS SURGICAL PARTNERS TAPS GROWTH-FOCUSED CFO JOHN HAMMACK TO DRIVE ASC PARTNER SUCCESS

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Compass Surgical Partners (Compass), a leading, independent, full-service ambulatory surgery center (ASC) development and management partner, today announced that John Hammack has joined the executive team as Chief Financial Officer. Hammack's appointment strengthens Compass' ability to launch, operate, and grow high-performing ASCs for physician and health system partners.

Hammack has built a career guiding multi-site businesses through successful transformations and sustained organic growth. His expertise spans consumer services, technology, real estate, and healthcare, where he has directed financial strategy for physician practice groups operating ASCs and other ancillary services. At Compass, he will apply this experience to build a stronger financial infrastructure that accelerates ASC growth nationwide.

"John is a business-focused finance leader who combines rigorous discipline with a commercial mindset," said DJ Hill, CEO of Compass.

"ASCs are one of the most exciting, patient-focused, and financially attractive areas of healthcare today," Hammack said. "My goal is to provide partners with financial infrastructure and insights that not only help their centers thrive day to day but also position them for long-term growth. Finance should never be a back-office function. It should be a catalyst for opportunity."

Included in his broad financial expertise is significant experience in mergers and acquisitions, where he has helped organizations grow while strengthening their operational foundation. John is equally known for his collaborative leadership style — working across functions and with his team to elevate financial acumen, build stronger capabilities, and ensure Compass's finance organization adds meaningful value for physician and health system partners.
