Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 2026, as Ambulatory Surgery Center Month in the State of New York

This bill directs Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate August 2026 as Ambulatory Surgery Center Month in New York State. It aims to raise awareness about ambulatory surgery centers, which are licensed facilities that perform same-day surgical procedures like cataract surgeries and colonoscopies. The resolution highlights the role these centers play in providing cost-effective care while reducing pressure on hospital resources. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the governor, the New York State Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers, and the national Ambulatory Surgery Center Association.
