Senate Resolution No. 1155

BY: Senator RIVERA

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 August 2025, as Ambulatory Surgery Center Month in
 the State of New York, in conjunction with the
 observance of National Ambulatory Surgery Center
 Month

 WHEREAS, The State of New York takes great pride in recognizing
certain months of the year in the hopes of increasing awareness of
important medical conditions, education, treatment, and care; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 2025 as Ambulatory Surgery
Center Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Ambulatory Surgery Center Month; and

 WHEREAS, For more than 50 years, Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC)
have provided high quality, cost-efficient surgical care for millions of
Americans, including New York State, where 179 independent single and/or
multispecialty facilities are in operation as licensed diagnostic and
treatment centers, as of January 2025, and further growth is expected;
and

 WHEREAS, ASCs offer same-day surgical care for thousands of
procedures for patients overseen by a multidisciplinary team to assure
quality care and post-procedure follow-up which were previously
performed exclusively in hospitals; and

 WHEREAS, First established in Phoenix, Arizona, today there are
6,300 Medicare-certified Ambulatory Surgery Center facilities in the
United States and 197,507 healthcare professionals across the United
States, employed by ASCs, projecting to save $8.2 billion in 2025 and up
to $12.2 billion in 2028; and

 WHEREAS, ASCs provide greater flexibility where routine surgical
care can be obtained, often reducing the amount of time and delay
encountered by patients; and

 WHEREAS, ASC facilities are fully licensed and accredited, adhering
to strict regulation and oversight by the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services and the Department of Health; and

 WHEREAS, A specialization of specific surgical procedures at ASC
facilities ensure the quality of care and excellent outcome; more than
69% are small businesses employing 20 or fewer employees, and a growing
number are women- and minority-owned; and

 WHEREAS, ASCs deserve our collective acknowledgment, recognition,
and gratitude for providing safe and efficient surgical treatment to New
Yorkers, striving to increase access to surgical care, and reducing
healthcare disparities; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 2025 as Ambulatory
Surgery Center Month in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York, and the New York State Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers.
