How NovaSed Helped a Leading Fertility Care Provider Launch Surgical Services in Greenville

When a leading fertility care provider prepared to open a new location in Greenville, South Carolina, their team needed more than an anesthesia provider. They needed a trusted partner who could help establish safe, efficient surgical workflows while supporting the exceptional patient experience their organization is known for.

By partnering with NovaSed during the planning and launch process, the organization gained a hands-on anesthesia team that integrated seamlessly into operations, helped establish critical safety and procedural standards, and continues to support patients and staff through a collaborative, patient-centered approach.

This leading fertility care provider operates a growing network of clinics across the United States, delivering advanced reproductive medicine and patient-centered care. As the organization prepared to open its Greenville location, maintaining consistent standards for safety, operational excellence, and patient experience was a top priority.

"We needed someone who could support the surgery center, understand our workflow, and ultimately become part of the team,"

The Challenge

Launching a new fertility center requires coordinating countless moving pieces, from facility preparation and staffing to regulatory compliance and complicated patient-care workflows.

For this organization's surgical services program manager, one critical coordinating component was identifying the right anesthesia partner for the new location.

The challenge wasn't simply finding qualified providers. The organization needed a partner capable of supporting a dynamic surgical schedule while aligning with its commitment to patient-centered care.

With fertility procedures occurring throughout the week and schedules often changing with little notice, flexibility and collaboration were essential. Just as important was finding a team willing to invest in the overall success of the clinic before the first patient ever walked through the door.

Shared Commitment to Patient Care

The surgical services program manager recalled immediately recognizing that NovaSed understood the organization's commitment to supporting patients through what is often one of the most emotional journeys of their lives.

A Partner From Day One

Rather than serving solely as an anesthesia vendor, NovaSed became an active participant in preparing the clinic for opening day.

Preparing for Opening Success

The team conducted site visits, reviewed equipment requirements, assisted with crash cart preparation, helped establish anesthesia workflows, and worked alongside clinical staff to ensure everyone felt confident and prepared before the first procedure.

Confidence Built Together

What stood out most was NovaSed's willingness to be involved in the build process itself. That level of involvement helped create confidence that the clinic would be fully prepared to deliver the safe, high-quality experience patients expect from day one.

"Not every vendor, or every anesthesia provider, is going to come and sit and really play a part in the build.

They were willing to put in the time and effort for the build. They wanted to come in and be part of making sure everything was set up."

According to the surgical services program manager, NovaSed's team took the time to educate staff, explain recommendations, and collaborate on decisions rather than simply providing requirements.

  • Today, NovaSed supports patients throughout the surgical experience, from pre-procedure reviews and anesthesia consultations to procedure-day care and post-operative follow-up.
  • The team works closely with clinic staff to address patient questions, review medical histories, and ensure each procedure is approached with both safety and patient comfort in mind.
  • Equally important, NovaSed integrated into existing workflows without creating disruptions or delays.

  • By showing up early, participating in training sessions, collaborating with staff, and helping prepare the facility for launch, NovaSed established itself as an extension of the clinic's care team rather than an outside vendor.

"There is always a possibility when you bring in a vendor that they will slow you down," said the surgical services program manager. "They have absolutely not."

The partnership has helped maintain the operational efficiency required for a busy fertility practice while preserving the personalized care experience that patients expect.

The value of the relationship became apparent almost immediately.

"Honestly, I think the first day they came onsite was already adding value."

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

For the surgical services program manager, one of the most meaningful aspects of the relationship has been the alignment between the two organizations' values.

Throughout the planning process and beyond, NovaSed demonstrated a commitment to patient care, teamwork, communication, and accountability.

The partnership has provided the clinic with a trusted anesthesia team while reinforcing the organization's commitment to delivering safe, compassionate care at every stage of the patient journey.

Looking Ahead

As the Greenville location continues serving patients, NovaSed remains an important part of the surgical services team.

The success of the partnership has left a lasting impression on clinic leadership, who view NovaSed as a trusted resource for future opportunities.

When asked what they would tell another fertility center considering NovaSed, the surgical services program manager offered a simple recommendation:

"They have been phenomenal to deal with, to work with, to collaborate with, and absolutely worth the phone call."

Built on shared values, clinical excellence, and a commitment to collaboration, the partnership demonstrates the impact of choosing the right partner from the very beginning.
