Virtual Advocacy in the Time of COVID-19: Hosting Virtual ASC Tours

In this episode, Charlie Leonard, a member of ASCA’s Public Affairs team, is joined by ASCA’s Manager of Grassroots and Political Affairs Adam Parker and ASCAPAC Board Member and Parkway Surgery Center Administrator Kirsten Anderson for a discussion about hosting virtual facility tours. With many members of Congress curtailing their in-person events and meetings during the pandemic and many ASCs operating under tight new safety constraints, the in-person tours that served as a cornerstone of ASCA’s advocacy for many years are unfeasible today. In response, ASCA has built a new virtual tour program to help ASCA members connect with their members of Congress to educate them about the impact of COVID-19 on their communities.
