August 17, 2005 Rule 18 Hearing Rebecca Craig’s Remarks
Tuesday, February 27th, 2007Good Morning: My name is Rebecca Craig. I am the administrator of the Harmony Surgery Center in Fort Collins and the president of the Colorado Ambulatory Surgery Center Association, better known as CASCA.
Before I begin my formal remarks I want to acknowledge the hard work of Dr. Marty McReynolds and Deb Northrop. All too often many of us are guilty of not acknowledging the hard work of so many in public service. Today we will not make that mistake.

The business community has supported ambulatory surgery centers because employees get back to work quickly and do not experience the problem of taking time off from work, getting bumped and having to reschedule. Additionally, the businesses have seen first hand that ASCs provide a venue for surgeries that cost significantly less than similar procedures performed at hospitals.…
