Tony Kamin's questions to AMERICAN SHARED HOSPITAL SERVICES (AMS) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Asked about the potential to increase patient volume and referrals at the Rhode Island centers following the previous owner's bankruptcy and recent upgrades, and also inquired about the reasons for the weak Gamma Knife performance and the plan for its recovery.
Answer
The executive confirmed that upgrading equipment has already brought back referring physicians and that they are actively marketing the Rhode Island centers with their healthcare system partners. The weak Gamma Knife quarter was attributed to an "anomaly" of temporary factors like physician leave and equipment downtime, and a recovery plan is in place.
