Copper Ridge Surgery Center Celebrates National ASC Month

Copper Ridge Surgery Center (CRSC) joins ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) across the country in celebrating National ASC Month this August. This annual observance highlights the vital role ASCs play in delivering high-quality, cost-effective surgical care to millions of Americans.

ASCs like CRSC provide a safe, convenient, and personalized alternative to hospital outpatient departments. As demand for outpatient services continues to grow—particularly among the aging U.S. population—ASCs are leading the way in innovation, efficiency, and positive patient outcomes.

“ASCs represent the best of what modern healthcare can offer—excellent outcomes, high patient satisfaction, and lower costs,” said Tina Piotrowski, CEO. “We’re proud to be part of a model that works for patients, physicians, and the healthcare system as a whole.”

Why ASCs Matter

• More than 80% of surgeries are now performed in outpatient settings.
• ASCs are highly regulated and regularly reviewed to ensure safety and quality.
• There are 110 Medicare-Certified ASCs in Michigan
• Medicare patients saved $1.5 billion over just four years thanks to ASCs.
• Studies show ASC patients have fewer post-surgical hospital admissions compared to those treated in hospital settings.
