What believers are saying

What critics are saying
- Transcendence Treatment Center litigation exposed Medicaid denial assumptions and 2023 facility failure.
- Six new openings in 2026 increase execution risk if staffing, census, or payer ramp lags.
- If projects stall or reimbursement weakens, Ascension's consulting-led growth model loses credibility quickly.
