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. 

On this Veterans Day 2023, the New York State Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (NYSAASC) extends its heartfelt appreciation to veterans and US Military Service Members for their unwavering dedication to our great nation. Your service, sacrifice, and unyielding commitment have safeguarded our freedoms and inspired us all. Your legacy of courage and service leaves an indelible mark on our hearts. NYSAASC stands united in respect, admiration, and gratitude for the tremendous impact you've made. Thank you for your service, and may your stories continue to inspire us. 

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. 

We are excited to share that several of our 2023 Annual Conference presenters were recently featured on the ASC Podcast with John Goehle. The ASC Podcast is a leading resource for Freestanding Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), and we are proud that our speakers had the opportunity to share their insights with a wider audience.

The 2023 NYSAASC Annual Conference was a resounding success with record breaking attendance and sponsor participation. Below are some of the great moments we were able to capture. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in putting together such a great event and for everyone who helped to make it a memorable experience!
