History[edit | edit source]
Envision Healthcare was founded in 1992. Over the years, the company has grown through a series of mergers and acquisitions, expanding its reach and service offerings. In 2016, Envision Healthcare merged with AmSurg Corporation, a provider of ambulatory surgery services, to form one of the largest healthcare service providers in the United States.
In 2018, Envision Healthcare was acquired by the private equity firm KKR in a deal valued at approximately $9.9 billion. This acquisition marked a significant transition for the company, allowing it to focus on expanding its service lines and improving patient care through innovative solutions.
