Of course, the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association (ASCA) is once again poised to celebrate National ASC Month by recognizing and creating awareness about its members and the broader ASC community. If your ASC would like to mark the occasion internally or externally, ASCA’s online toolkit for the 2026 celebration offers a boatload of resources you can access.
ASCA’s 2026 National ASC Month Toolkit includes:
- “Shareables” including a “What is an ASC?” infographic, an “ASC Savings” infographic, and a “state impact” fact sheet, all of which include a spotlight on the Medicare savings ASCs provide.
- Access to ASCA’s Facility Tour Program, under which your ASC can host a facility tour for your local Congressional members to educate them about “the ASC setting and the issues affecting patient access to care.”
- Information about ASCA Member Appreciation Week, which will take place August 3 to 7 to “celebrate the members who make ASCA stronger.” Festivities will include “daily member lounges with exclusive content, special announcements, interactive activities, member spotlights and opportunities to win prizes.”
- Template letters you can use to ask Congress to support ASCA’s top legislative priorities, specifically the Medicare Beneficiary Co-Pay Fairness Act and the Outpatient Surgery Access Act of 2026, which ASCA says would combine to “modernize Medicare policy to better support patients and the surgery center community.”
- Social media resources, including three downloadable banners and six hashtags.
- An image you can add to your Outlook email signature, as well as a virtual meeting background image you can add to show support during your Zoom and Teams calls.
- A month-long $400 discount for ASCA members on registration for the ASCA 2027 Conference & Expo.
- Access to the ASCA Connect online community and professional networking platform, along with info on how to join ASCA.
All of us at Periop Leader Network appreciate everything that ASCs do to advance safe, accessible and affordable surgical care. We hope to see you at Periop Leader Week, and encourage you to register for the event today using our promo code ASCMONTH for 15% off!
