Ambulatory Surgery Center Association (ASCA)

The Ambulatory Surgery Center Association (ASCA) is a national organization that represents and advocates for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in the United States. ASCs are specialized facilities where patients can undergo surgeries and procedures without needing an overnight hospital stay. The ASCA works to promote quality care, improve access to services, and help ASCs navigate regulatory challenges. It provides resources, training, and support to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these centers, ultimately benefiting patients who prefer the convenience and cost-effectiveness of outpatient surgical care.
