As part of National ASC Month, we invited David Shapiro, MD, to talk about the evolution of surgery centers, the critical need for ASCA members to participate in ASC advocacy and the outlook for the future of the surgery center community. David is a member of the ASCA Board and a past president of the association. He is also an anesthesiologist with extensive experience in surgery center management and has been actively involved in multiple ASC-related organizations and advocacy efforts.
