As chief legal officer, Sarah Jacobs advises the Compass team and our ambulatory surgery center partners for optimal market growth, impact, and compliance.

Compass’s health system and surgeon partners deserve the absolute best advisors, and Sarah’s expertise in strategic health system alignment, surgeon partnerships, healthcare law, and regulatory compliance position our ASC joint ventures for success.

A healthcare attorney for two decades, Sarah has served as in-house counsel for two health systems and for a major academic physician practice. She has advised senior leadership teams many times over her career, providing workable solutions to day-to-day operational challenges in multiple healthcare settings.

Sarah has also worked for law firms as a healthcare attorney, representing and guiding hospitals, health systems, physician groups, and ambulatory surgery centers as they navigated regulatory, transactional, and operational matters. She has significant experience with healthcare assets and operations, helping her clients design and execute innovative alignment models. Her thorough understanding of contemporary approaches to healthcare reimbursement makes her an ideal guide for ASC partners working towards clinical, operational, and financial goals.

Sarah is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Law School. When she's not navigating legal complexities, she is on the go, chauffeuring her boys to soccer, running, skateboarding, or expanding her impressive sneaker collection. Originally from a small town in Iowa, she still dreams of becoming a farmer, but for now, settles for having multiple pets and a large yard.
