About the company
Company website•Hospitals and Health Care
Anesthesia Practice Consultants (APC) was born through the merger of two leading anesthesia practices in West Michigan. Since 1999, APC has evolved from a core group of anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists to a prominent professional anesthesiology organization that provides leadership and value to its hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and office-based practices.
APC is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan and comprised of three corporations. West Michigan Anesthesia (WMA) provides anesthesia and sedation services at Spectrum Health facilities. Anesthesia Medical Consultants (AMC) provides anesthesia and sedation services throughout West Michigan including Metropolitan Hospital, Midtowne Surgical Center and many ambulatory surgical centers throughout the region. Together, APC is comprised of over 100 physicians, many with fellowship training and dual specialty training, as well as more than 70 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and Anesthesiology Assistants. Physicians perform anesthetics in about 50% of anesthetizing sites while care teams perform the remainder of anesthetics. APC currently staffs 20+ locations with 120+ anesthetizing sites.
