Upcoming Presentation:
Hospitals increasingly offer stipend support to anesthesia groups, but these deals often come with strings that erode independence. In the Spring 2025 Issue of Communiqué, published by Coronis Health, Mark unpacks how exclusivity clauses, staffing controls, and termination terms can turn support into control—and how groups can negotiate smarter to protect their future. Read the full piece to learn ways to stay independent and secure support for your group.
