What our Members are Saying

"One of the most important benefits ASCA offers is advocacy and the strong voice the organization has in Washington. About 15 years ago, I received a scholarship to go participate in a fly-in and go to Washington DC. Seeing lobbyists in action and learning about how ASCA advocated on behalf of ASC’s across the country, I learned that it is important to get out and be active in the organization. At that time, I decided to be on my state board and also run for the ASCA board. You can’t make a difference if you sit back and watch, you have to be involved.”

Linda Nash, MBA LHRM CASC, Manatee Surgical Center

"I became an ASCA member because I wanted to learn more about ASCs and stay in the know regarding changes and hot topics. I also wanted an opportunity to network. The webinars and tools and resources that are offered in addition to ASCA Connect are some of the most helpful resources in my role as administrator at my center."

Tina DiMarino, MSN RN CNOR CASC, Mid-Atlantic Surgery Pavilion

"I was always told that if you really believe in something get involved. So I got involved because ASCA is the only lobbying effort for the industry.

The ASCA network and support on the hill is huge. The Medicare fee schedule has helped my center tremendously as well as the work the government affairs department does on the hill. The annual meeting is also something I look forward to each year."

James McClung, BSN RN, Center for Special Surgery Austin

"I am the group administrator over several facilities; I use ASCA as a learning tool for my staff. I ask them to join ASCA Connect and have them comb through the website to learn the industry and get acclimated with knowledge that they need whether it be current events, Medicare reimbursement, regulatory compliance, etc. Although I have been a member over 20 years, I still use the ASCA website as my go-to. As an ASCA member, you can develop a lot of good relationships and the education and connections you get from webinars and in person meetings are above and beyond the cost of membership alone."

Donna Smith, MT CASC, Surgical Care Affiliates

"I joined ASCA when my facility first opened in 2008 to help me learn the ropes, I thought it would be a good way to meet people who did this every day and had the experience that I did not. Over the years I have benefited from the educational series and networking opportunities which reassure me that I am not at this alone! I have learned that it makes no sense to invent the wheel again, so to speak, and to get advice or help with issues that others have already faced. Even if you are not a member of ASCA, your ASC will benefit from the work that ASCA does."

Tori Calliet, RN CNOR CASC, Wooster Ambulatory Surgery Center
