Connecticut Association Of Ambulatory Surgery Centers

The Connecticut Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (CAASC) is a leading advocate for independent ambulatory surgery centers in Connecticut, dedicated to promoting and protecting the interests of our members and the patients they serve. Our organization is committed to educating policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the general public about the importance of ambulatory surgery centers in providing high-quality, low-cost healthcare services to our communities.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote and advance the interests of independent ambulatory surgery centers in Connecticut, ensuring that our patients have access to affordable, high-quality healthcare services. We believe that by working together, we can create a healthcare system that is more efficient, effective, and patient-centered.

Services

CAASC provides a range of services to our members, including advocacy, education, and networking opportunities. We work closely with policymakers and healthcare professionals to advocate for policies that support the growth and development of independent ambulatory surgery centers. We also provide educational resources and training programs to help our members stay up-to-date on the latest trends and best practices in ambulatory surgery. Additionally, we offer networking opportunities to connect our members with other healthcare professionals and industry leaders.

The Issue

Independent ambulatory surgery centers in Connecticut are taxed as non-profit healthcare providers and as independent medical practices, without the benefits of either. This double taxation has had a devastating impact on our industry, with many centers struggling to stay afloat. CAASC is committed to repealing this unfair tax and promoting policies that support the growth and development of independent ambulatory surgery centers.
