ASCA rolled out a new program this year that gives the association’s facility members and ASCs across the country easy access to several important resources they can use to meet regulatory requirements, cut costs, educate staff and continue to deliver top-quality patient care.

Through this new offering—ASCA’s Affinity Partnership Program—ASCs can now access the following services:

• ASCA Asset Network, provided by Healthcare Asset Network: A secure online portal where ASCs can buy and sell health-care supplies and equipment. This unique platform features a streamlined, vetted marketplace for new and refurbished products, a proprietary seller protection program that allows you to buy and sell with confidence, an optional dedicated buyer program to free ASC staff from time-intensive purchasing tasks and a mobile app.

As we develop new resources and improve those we already offer you, your input is critical to ensuring that we make the right decisions and address your most important concerns. Please let us hear from you about these programs and all the services and resources your ASCA membership provides.

Also, so that we can target our advocacy and outreach efforts appropriately and offer you the information and educational opportunities you need, please tell us about the most important challenges you are facing today and share your ideas for ways we can help you meet them. As always, your priorities are ASCA’s priorities, and to help us meet that goal, we need to hear from you. Please send your comments to me at Rebecca.Craig@uchealth.org.
