The ASC Association: The Last 10 Years

The ASC Association, over the last 10 years, has done a better job of advancing and appropriately protecting the interests of its members than any other trade association that I am aware of.

There is no set of physician-owned facilities that has better respect and that has a better public relations perspective than the ASC industry. This is largely due to the incredible organizational and leadership efforts of the ASC Association over the last 10 years.

The ASC Association, in addition to doing a tremendous job of advocating for its members in Washington, D.C., has done an incredible job of retaining the vibrancy of the organization. There are few trade associations that can boast of its financial health of the ability to draw more than 2,500 people to its annual meeting. The ASC Association has done a remarkable job of providing education to its members and staying a completely vibrant organization.

We applaud the board of the ASC Association and the leadership of Kathy Bryant who has been a tireless and incredibly intelligent advocate for the industry. She has accomplished more in the last several years with the ASC Association than most parties have accomplished in a lifetime. We encourage each surgery center to join the ASC Association and to contribute to the ASC PAC.
