The New Jersey Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (NJAASC) is an incorporated non-profit organization which was founded in 1992 by owners of ambulatory surgery centers.

Our mission is to promote and advance the efforts of New Jersey's ambulatory surgery centers in the delivery of optimum patient care in a cost effective manner.

Meetings are attended by owners, administrators, billers and coders, physicians, nursing staff and others with an interest in ambulatory surgery. There is information and networking opportunities for everyone involved in the ASC industry.
