A Farewell to an Outstanding ASC Leader
Wednesday, 8 October, 2025
In this episode of the Advancing Surgical Care Podcast, ASCA Chief Executive Officer Bill Prentice talks with Beth LaBouyer, executive director of the California Ambulatory Surgery Association (CASA), about her impending retirement at the end of this year. LaBouyer started her career in nursing, then worked as an ASC administrator and served as a CASA volunteer, ultimately joining the CASA board and becoming the organization’s first executive director. Over the next 21 years, she built and grew CASA into one of the premier state ASC associations in the country. In this poignant conversation, she shares her approach to leadership and advocacy, her thoughts about the future challenges and opportunities in the ASC community—at both the state and federal levels—the advent of artificial intelligence in ASCs, and more.
