SENATE RESOLUTION
|
|
|
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. |
