Host a Facility Tour
California Ambulatory Surgery Association (CASA) is the leading advocate for the ambulatory surgery center industry. CASA and its members advance communication and education to key political audiences including legislative and regulatory decision-makers.
This guidebook supports CASA’s proactive grassroots program to educate Legislators about ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) through on-site tours. The goal is to show the legislators firsthand the high-quality healthcare opportunities available at an ASC. It is not enough to just brief someone or simply conduct a facility tour; a Legislator needs information that will provide background and policy support for important decisions on healthcare issues.
