ProHub Comment
This case tests the candidate's ability to structure revenue analysis and recognize that a single expansion opportunity is insufficient to meet targets, requiring return to the framework for alternative revenue levers. The case emphasizes healthcare-specific knowledge through reimbursement rates and patient volumes while maintaining focus on revenue rather than cost considerations.

Our client, GGC Health, operates eight Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC) on the east coast. GGC Health has consistently been a profitable organization, but over the past two years, their ASCs’ cumulative revenues have been flat at $400 million/year. The CEO of GGC Health is concerned about this and has hired your firm to increase revenues by 15%.
