In his current role, Currier, a healthcare industry veteran of 20 years, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the ASC. Prior to joining Bend Surgery Center, he worked as an ASC administrator in Wyoming, Montana and Washington state. He is an officer of the Oregon Ambulatory Surgery Center Association and was an original founder of the state ASC association of Wyoming.

“It is an honor and privilege to step into the role as president of ASCA.” Currier said. “Our members are the driving force behind this organization, and I look forward to working alongside them.”

Currier has a Bachelor of Science in accounting from Southern Oregon University, is a certified public accountant and is a fellow of the American College of Medical Practice Executives. He enjoys hiking, camping, fishing and anything associated with peace and nature.

“In the years ahead, we will remain focused on supporting our members in the areas that help them provide safe, high-quality care through advocacy and legislation, free education and benchmarking resources, collaboration with our state associations, and the flexibility to adapt to emerging challenges,” Currier said.

The ASCA board also named Rena Courtay, RN, CASC, vice president of ambulatory surgery at Trinity Health in Cary, North Carolina, as vice president; Jon Van Valkenburg, CASC, executive director of Upstate Orthopedics ASC in East Syracuse, New York, as treasurer; and Raghu Reddy, chief administrative officer of MiOrtho Surgery Center in Southfield, Michigan, as secretary.

The board elected two new members this year: Allison Stock, RN, CASC, CAIP, chief operations officer at Surgical Management Professionals in Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Greg DeConciliis, CASC, administrator of Boston Out-Patient Surgical Suites in Waltham, Massachusetts. The new members will start their terms in January 2027.

Currier and Courtay are incumbent members, both opting to run for their second three-year term. Outgoing President Mark Wainner, senior director of ASC acquisition and development at Community Health Systems in Franklin, Tennessee, remains on the board as immediate past president.

ASCA board members serve three-year terms, and ASCA bylaws require that its board members be physicians, nurses, managers and other representatives as determined by the board of directors. These members also serve on the ASCA Foundation board. ASCA board officers serve two-year terms.
