WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join the Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Society in recognizing April 14, 2021, as Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Day; and

WHEREAS, Ambulatory surgery centers provide high-quality, low-cost procedures to patients who desire outpatient surgery and the ability to return home quickly for comfortable recovery; and
