WHEREAS, The Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Society is
celebrating Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Advocacy Day on April
14, 2021; and
WHEREAS, A growing alternative to hospitalization for acute
care, ambulatory surgery centers perform outpatient procedures
that enable individuals to check out the same day and recover in the
comfort of their own home; and
WHEREAS, Many common procedures, such as cataract removal,
colonoscopies, knee arthroscopies, and tonsillectomies, are now
performed in surgery centers; licensed by the Texas Department of
State Health Services, these facilities employ numerous health care
professionals across the state and treat hundreds of thousands of
patients each year; and
WHEREAS, By providing convenient, high-quality medical care
at a comparatively low cost, ambulatory surgery centers are helping
to ensure the health and well-being of countless Texas residents,
and they are indeed deserving of recognition for the important role
they play in the state's health care system; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center
Advocacy Day on April 14, 2021, and commend the Texas Ambulatory
Surgery Center Society for its work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the society as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
