October 28, 2021 - We just wrapped up a quarterly team meeting. But this one was special.

We celebrated 10 years of Compass with our staff and a few industry friends. Our theme: Honor Our History, Launch Our Future.

We gathered our team in Durham, NC, and spent time reflecting on our history. What makes Compass distinct? What have we done well? What foundations are important as we move into the future? We then moved to lock our plans for the future. What could be improved? How can we be more innovative? How can we become better leaders? We sought to answer these and many other questions.

October 14, 2021 - Becker's ASC Review recently published an article on the 5 CMS Changes ASC Leaders Want to See. Compas CEO DJ Hill was featured, speaking on procedures covered by Medicare in ASCs.

"The movement to site-neutral care, where reimbursement would be consistent between hospital outpatient departments and ASCs, will create massive benefits for patients, providers, and payers." - DJ Hill

As CMS-covered procedures expand further to ASCs, we believe we'll see patient care and patient satisfaction improve. What CMS changes would you like to see? Email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

September 1, 2021 - Compass is 10 YEARS OLD today! 

As we look back over the 10 years, we're filled with gratitude for all of the amazing people that have been a part of that journey. Thanks to each and every person who's worked with us and partnered with us along the way, in every capacity. Thanks especially to our physician partners and our Compass team members. Here's to the next 10 and on after.
