We need to make certain we are reaching as many people as possible with our message about the top-quality, cost-effective surgery and outstanding customer care ASCs provide," said Kathy Bryant, ASC Association president, in a statement issued by the ASC Association. “Open houses are an extremely effective way to do that. I can’t tell you how many times someone has said to me, ‘I never really understood what ASCs do or how they do it until I actually took the time to tour an ASC.’ In Austin, Texas, at the South Austin Surgery Center where I helped celebrate National ASC Open House Day this year, we made a lot of important connections with people from the community.”
ASCs participating in Open House Day held many different events to attract people to their facilities, including offering tours, free health services and informational sessions on key and emerging health concerns, bringing in clowns, hosting teddy bear clinics and one center hosting a presentation by a contestant in a past season of the Survivor television series.
“Each year, ASCs seem to be getting more creative with their open house events,” says Ms. Bryant. “I’ve enjoyed watching this program grow over the years and seeing the many ideas ASCs have developed and the many ways they have put those ideas to work. As usual, there appear to be no limits on what ASC professionals can and will do to promote healthy living, the highest standards of surgical care and the ASC industry.”
