"We had the opportunity to joint venture our hospital out-patient surgery center
with our surgeons but didn't know the best way to handle all the hundreds of
issues involved in such a venture. The professionalism of the staff of Earnhart
& Associates resulted in a fully subscribed surgery center. We are all pleased
with the outcomes and certainly would recommend EAI to any hospital. "
Jeff Fried, President & CEO
Beebe Medical Center

"As a not-for-profit hospital system, we wanted to partner with our surgeons on
out-patient surgery before someone else did. We contacted Earnhart & Associates
several years ago and we have finished our second highly successful ASC joint
venture in different locations with them. There were there for every meeting,
led every discussions with the steering committees, successful obtained
licensure and Medicare Certification and assisted in the management of the centers.
We are very pleased and will call them for number three when that opportunity
occurs."

"Earnhart & Associates was readily available when my company needed him for
assistance in renovating/building an ASC. I did not have to wait for a team to
be assembled as with some larger consulting firms. After the assignment was
complete, Mr. Earnhart continued to respond to follow-up questions as quickly as
during the initial assignment. I highly recommend his services.
Mr. Earnhart and his Associates displayed an exceptional knowledge base in
constructing and operating an ASC. He effectively addressed all my issues from
layout of the surgery center, to staffing levels, to billing questions."

surgicenters superb. The individual interviews with all the prospective
candidates most helpful. Your input and advice a most needed necessity in the
world of developing a surgicenter."

"I met Steve Earnhart at a national conference when he was the principal
international invited speaker (Keynote) in Australia. His lectures were no
nonsense, entertaining, factual and incisive and by far the best received at the
conference (and I attend a lot of conferences). When he talked people listened;
he knew the business of Day Surgeries inside out and it showed. Subsequently
Steve was appointed as the consultant to our project and the cost benefit
analysis of his services has been immensely in our favor. Steve is catalytic; he
will tell it to you as it is and his services are genuine value for money."
