Annual Education Conference
Thank you for making the 2020 virtual conference a SUCCESS!
 
Each year, MNASCA hosts an Annual Education Conference. While this year's virtual conference looked quite different from previous years, the event still achieved its mission to connect leaders in the ASC industry with key stakeholders and partners in the health care community.
The annual conference provides our members with continuing education so that they can stay current on key topics and issues affecting ASCs. From legislative overviews to briefings on staffing your center, we offer a wide range of topics to interest everyone in the ASC.
