About Us
The Nevada Ambulatory Surgery Center Association was founded in 2008 in order to provide for a unified voice of ASCs across the state in reaching out to the public, elected and government officials and the media.
The Nevada Ambulatory Surgery Center Association is a statewide, nonprofit membership association representing the interests of the industry in Nevada and, by extension, nationwide.
