The group is urging senators to take action on HR 1808, also known as the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022, which the House passed in July. The bill seeks to prevent the sale, manufacturing and possession of semiautomatic assault weapons.


Among the approximately 60 physicians meeting with senators are members of March Fourth, a group formed in response to the July 4 shooting in Highland Park, Ill. This group includes physicians who survived the shooting and those who cared for victims.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
