PUBLISHER'S NOTE
On behalf of Becker's
Healthcare, I warmly welcome
you to the Becker's ASC 24th
Annual Meeting: The Business
and Operations of ASCs. It is
a privilege to have you here
in Chicago for an event that
will involve a healthy amount
of education, entertainment
and networking. I'm thrilled to share this experience
with more than 1,500 surgeons, physician leaders,
administrators and ASC business and clinical leaders
from across the country, and I'm so thrilled and
grateful for the 190- plus thought leaders speaking.
Becker's Healthcare publications and events share
a common mission — to inform and entertain.
This week you have your choice of sessions on a
range of topics, from high-level discussions about
strategy, physician burnout and market competition
to on-the-ground guidance about revenue cycle
performance, joint ventures and compliance
planning. In addition to a range of breakout sessions
across six tracks, I hope you enjoy hearing from our
keynotes: Bill Walton, NBA legend and basketball
analyst; Kirk Herbstreit, analyst and reporter for
ESPN's College GameDay; Alexa von Tobel, founder
and CEO of Learnvest.com and author of Financially
Fearless; and Andrew Hayek, CEO of OptumHealth
and CEO of Surgical Care Affiliates.
We thank each of our sponsors for making this event
possible. It simply could not happen without your
support.
Should you need anything during your stay in
Chicago, do not hesitate to let a member of the
Becker's Healthcare team know. We are happy to
assist in any way.
Thank you for being here!
Truly,
Scott Becker
