On this episode, recorded live on March 15, 2020, John Goehle, Sue Cronkite, Laurie Roderiques, Jenna Alvarez, and Alex Bornemann discuss the possibility that ASCs will be required to suspend elective surgery.  We also briefly discussed the impact of the 1135 Waiver that will likely be implemented as a result of the national and state declaration of a state of emergency. Beth LaBouyer, the Executive Director of the California ASC Association called in and gave a quick update on California.   The episode was very spontaneous and unscripted to allow collaboration - therefore, the sound quality was marginal and the content didn’t always flow well - nonetheless we hope it was valuable to our listeners.
