SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 295
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize March 8, 2023, as Ambulatory Surgery Center Awareness
Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Ambulatory surgery centers are facilities that
provide acute health care to hundreds of thousands of Texans each
year and present an alternative to traditional channels of
medical care; and
WHEREAS, Ambulatory surgery centers allow patients to
return to their homes the same day of the surgery so that they can
recover from their procedures in the comfort of their homes
rather than in a hospital; and
WHEREAS, Patients who choose to receive care in ambulatory
surgery centers enjoy affordable, high-quality care that
eliminates the costly medical bills associated with
hospitalization; and
WHEREAS, In addition to lowering medical costs for
patients, ambulatory surgery centers have contributed to a more
efficient health care system and have saved the State of Texas
millions of dollars; it is indeed fitting that ambulatory surgery
centers receive special recognition for their invaluable
contributions to improving health care in our great state; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby recognize March 8, 2023, as Ambulatory
Surgery Center Awareness Day at the Capitol and encourage the
support and participation of all citizens in learning more about
ambulatory surgery centers; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Society in honor of this
special occasion.
