National ASC Month

August is National ASC Month, an annual celebration of surgery centers and the impact that they have on their communities and the healthcare system as a whole.

By participating in awareness-raising activities, surgery centers can educate their communities and government officials alike on the essential role that ASCs play in providing high-quality surgical care.

 

 

Watch the panel discussion:

Excelling in Today's Dynamic ASC Landscape

In this special National ASC Month panel discussion, ASC leaders discuss how ASCs are thriving in the current surgery center landscape, what challenges ASCs face, and what is required for long-term viability and success.
