Host a Facility Tour

Help your member of Congress understand your ASC’s contributions to your community

ASCs provide high-quality, economically priced care, yet many policymakers don’t know about the countless benefits that ASCs provide to their patients and the community. Hosting a tour of your center for a policymaker gives you the unique opportunity to show them firsthand the benefits your ASC provides.

In addition, a tour creates a personal connection between you and your elected officials that might directly affect ASC-related legislation and regulation.
