National ASC Month 2023

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.

 

 

Join us for an online panel discussion:

Achieving ASC Success in an Evolving Landscape

In celebration of National ASC Month, SIS hosted a panel of ASC experts for an in-depth conversation about the challenges and opportunities facing the ASC industry. Watch the video below for guidance and best practices sourced from a wide range of expertise and experience. Enjoy!
