Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 2025, as Ambulatory Surgery Center Month in the State of New York

This is a commemorative resolution (not a policy bill) requesting Governor Hochul to officially recognize August 2025 as "Ambulatory Surgery Center Month" in New York State. It directly affects the Governor and aims to raise public awareness about Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), which provide same-day surgical care for procedures like cataract surgeries and colonoscopies. The resolution highlights ASCs' role in delivering efficient, high-quality care through licensed facilities (179 in NY as of January 2025) without proposing new laws or funding. It does not change existing regulations or create new obligations.
