The WISCA Leadership Summit held earlier this month in Wausau, WI, featured a tour of the Wausau Surgery Center. The tour provided Summit participants with a peek behind the curtain of WSC’s new, state-of-the-art facility, which opened in September 2022. WISCA invited and was thrilled to be joined by two state lawmakers from the Wausau area – Sen. Cory Tomczyk (R-Mosinee) and Rep. Pat Snyder (R-Schofield).
The tour allowed WISCA to show both legislators firsthand the benefits of the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) model of care, how ASCs have transformed the outpatient experience, and how surgery centers offer patients a more convenient and safer alternative to hospital-based outpatient procedures at a lower cost. The tour also afforded WISCA members the opportunity to ask the lawmakers questions and to express their concerns over the regulatory challenges ASCs face and potential solutions to those challenges.
