H.R. No. 482
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center
Society are gathering in Austin on March 8, 2023, for Ambulatory
Surgery Center Awareness Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, An 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, There are currently more than 500 ambulatory surgery
centers licensed for operation by the Texas Department of State
Health Services, and these facilities treat hundreds of thousands
of patients each year; and
WHEREAS, By providing quality medical care at a comparatively
low cost, ambulatory surgery centers are helping to ensure the
health and well-being of Texas residents, and these facilities 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 88th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 8, 2023, as Ambulatory Surgery
Center Awareness Day at the State Capitol 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 organization as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
Johnson of Dallas
