On December 6, 2023, NYSAASC officers Jon Van Valkenburg, President, Jeffrey Flynn, Vice President, and Helen Lowenwirth, Treasurer, embarked on a tour of four freestanding Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) across New York City, to see firsthand and experience the cutting-edge advancements and innovation our centers are using to provide high quality care. 

NYSAASC’s top legislative priority for 2023 is now the law! On Wednesday, October 25, 2023, Governor Hochul signed legislation S6086/A3302 into law, which will add a representative of freestanding ambulatory surgery centers to the Public Health and Health Planning Council (PHHPC). To do so, the law expands the membership of PHHPC from 25 to 26. The enactment of this law is a major development for freestanding ambulatory surgery centers and their critical part of the healthcare system in New York State.
