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

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare August 2026 as Ambulatory Surgery Center Month in New York. The resolution aims to raise awareness about ambulatory surgery centers, which are licensed facilities that provide safe, non-emergency surgical care outside of traditional hospitals. By designating this month, the legislature intends to highlight the role these centers play in delivering cost-effective healthcare and improving access for New York residents. The measure is a ceremonial proclamation and does not create new laws or alter existing regulations.
