SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 295
         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.
