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. | ||
Campbell | ||
