Our History
Basilius Media Corporation stands as a proud subsidiary of Atlas Surgical Group, an influential powerhouse in the healthcare industry with an extensive legacy rooted in quality and physician-led care. Atlas Surgical Group was founded 20 years ago in the Midwest as a group of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and healthcare entities exclusively owned and operated by physicians and surgeons. This physician-driven model created a foundation of excellence, ensuring that patient care remained at the forefront while aligning operational and financial decisions with the unique insights and expertise of medical professionals.
Today, Atlas Surgical Group has grown into the largest privately owned network of ASCs in the Midwest, a testament to its dedication to quality and efficient care. Beyond its regional dominance, Atlas has expanded internationally, establishing its influence across four continents and becoming a key advisor to governments and healthcare organizations worldwide on the subject of surgery and outpatient care. Atlas’s reach and impact are underscored by its consultancy role, helping shape the development of outpatient surgery centers and consulting on best practices in healthcare administration globally.
Over the past two decades, Atlas Surgical Group and its affiliated physicians and surgeons have been instrumental in shaping policies, procedures, and standards within the outpatient surgery field. Through an extensive body of work—including articles, books, and established best practices—Atlas has contributed significantly to the field’s evolution. Many surgical organizations and corporations regard the materials produced by Atlas as foundational resources for achieving financial stability and enhancing performance. These “tomes” serve as guides for healthcare entities seeking financial improvement and operational success, embodying Atlas’s commitment to blending clinical excellence with sound business practices.
Basilius Media Corporation was established to further Atlas’s vision, acting as a bridge between its expertise and the healthcare industry at large. Its flagship publication, Surgery Business Magazine, focuses solely on the financial aspects of surgery, offering the same level of insight and excellence that defines Atlas’s approach. Together, Atlas Surgical Group and Basilius Media Corporation continue to innovate, leading discussions and setting standards that advance both the clinical and business dimensions of outpatient surgery on a global scale.
