Ambulatory Surgery Center
An ambulatory surgery center
or "ASC" is a health care facility that specializes
in providing surgery services in an outpatient setting.
In the United States, over six million surgeries
a year are performed in approximately 3,300 ASC's across the
United States. There are ASC's in all 50 States and throughout
the world.
The web site for the Federated
Ambulatory Surgery Association or "FASA"
at http://www.fasa.org contains information about the
ASC industry.
