---|
8 | 9 | | Society are gathering in Austin on February 25, 2025, for |

---|
10 | 11 | | WHEREAS, An alternative to hospitalization for acute care, |
---|
11 | 12 | | ambulatory surgery centers perform outpatient procedures that |

---|
14 | 15 | | WHEREAS, There are currently more than 600 ambulatory surgery |
---|
15 | 16 | | centers licensed for operation by the Texas Department of State |
---|
16 | 17 | | Health Services; these facilities treat hundreds of thousands of |
---|
17 | 18 | | patients each year, resulting in millions of dollars saved for the |
---|
18 | 19 | | state's health care system; and |
---|
19 | 20 | | WHEREAS, By providing high-quality medical care at a |
---|
20 | 21 | | comparatively low cost, ambulatory surgery centers are helping to |
---|
21 | 22 | | ensure the health and well-being of patients, and these facilities |
---|
22 | 23 | | are indeed deserving of recognition for the important role they |
---|
23 | 24 | | play in meeting Texans' health care needs; now, therefore, be it |
---|
24 | 25 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
---|
25 | 26 | | Legislature hereby recognize February 25, 2025, as Ambulatory |
---|
26 | 27 | | Surgery Center Awareness Day at the State Capitol and commend the |
---|
27 | 28 | | Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Society for its work; and, be it |
---|
28 | 29 | | further |
---|
29 | 30 | | RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
---|
