H.R. No. 354
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center
Society are gathering in Austin on February 25, 2025, 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 600 ambulatory surgery
centers licensed for operation by the Texas Department of State
Health Services; these facilities treat hundreds of thousands of
patients each year, resulting in millions of dollars saved for the
state's health care system; and
WHEREAS, By providing high-quality medical care at a
comparatively low cost, ambulatory surgery centers are helping to
ensure the health and well-being of patients, and these facilities
are indeed deserving of recognition for the important role they
play in meeting Texans' health care needs; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 25, 2025, 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.
