NASHVILLE, Tenn. & GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Physician Services business of Envision Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: EVHC) has completed the acquisition of Emergency Professional Services (EPS), a group of more than 50 emergency medicine physicians and 20 advanced practice providers who care for patients at four Phoenix, AZ-based hospitals.
EPS’ clinical professionals have provided care at Banner Health System’s flagship Banner University Medical Center for more than 35 years and also practice at three other Banner Health facilities.
