July 1, 2020 - Raleigh, N.C. – Compass Surgical Partners selected Dave Ewing as its new Vice President of Business Development (western territory).

Having excelled in companies such as Pfizer, McKesson, TeamHealth, and North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), Ewing’s 20-years of experience and depth of knowledge in the healthcare industry make him a great addition to the Compass team and an asset in the business.

“Our company is deeply rooted in our mission and our core principles, and Ewing gets that,” said Darin Hill, co-founder and CEO of Compass Surgical Partners. “We look forward to the ways in which Dave will bring fresh, new ideas to our business development team to help our surgeon partners succeed in their ASCs.”

Most recently at NAPA, Ewing was responsible for developing anesthesia service contracts with hospitals and surgical centers. He also developed anesthesia practice acquisition partnerships throughout the United States.

June 18, 2020 - Thanks to partners, center staff, and patients, all Compass center case volumes have returned to pre-COVID levels.

Compass centers reopened in May at reduced capacity for the first couple weeks to make sure the community, patients, and staff were safe as centers implemented new safety policies.

As patients felt comfortable, centers started scheduling surgeries for them. We're proud of our center staff and honored to have great partners.
