PHOENIX, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlas Healthcare Partners, which specializes in developing and managing ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in partnership with health systems and physicians, today announced its 21^st Banner Surgery Center with the partnership of Advanced Spine and Pain, LLC and Sonospine. The two will now be known and operate as Banner Surgery Center (BSC) – Central Phoenix.
