AVON, Conn., June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Constitution Surgery Alliance (CSA), an independent developer and operator of ambulatory surgery centers, has received a strategic investment from Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (WCAS), a leading healthcare and technology investment firm.

CSA partners with health systems and surgeons to develop and operate high-quality, patient-centric ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). Since 1998, CSA has delivered best-in-class clinical, operational and financial outcomes for its partners. CSA partners benefit from access to a seasoned executive team and a proprietary clinical and business intelligence platform that helps guide real-time decision making and solutions implementation. The Company currently manages 16 facilities in five states that perform over 100,000 orthopedic, total joint replacement, spine, ophthalmology, ENT, urology and GI procedures annually.

With a 46-year history of building businesses and fostering innovation in the healthcare industry, WCAS will bring capital and expertise to help CSA expand nationally and build on its track record of excellence in turnkey ASC development and management. The Company's commitment to helping health systems and surgeons develop high-quality surgery centers that deliver exceptional clinical and business outcomes will remain as its core mission.

"We are excited to welcome WCAS as a partner," said Kris Mineau, CEO and Co-Founder of CSA. "Their experience in scaling healthcare organizations aligns perfectly with our vision for CSA. As we transition following the retirement of my partner and co-founder Theodore Krawiec M.D., we are committed to building upon our best-in-class outcomes and patient experience which have defined CSA for more than two decades."

"Surgical procedures of almost all types are increasingly migrating to ASCs, which offer convenience and cost savings to patients as well as a superior experience for surgeons. We also hear from health systems across the country of their need to expand their ambulatory networks in a capital efficient manner. We believe CSA is an ideal partner for these health systems and are excited to support the development of high-quality, lower-cost outpatient care delivery infrastructure in the U.S." said Sean Traynor, WCAS General Partner.
