Kate Perlstrom is the Director of Surgical Services at Providence Mission Surgery Center, and she’s on today to share her essential guide to board meeting agendas. This will be the second episode focused on making your board meetings as effective as possible, and having a repeatable agenda is critical to doing so. Kate shares her 9-part agenda, tips for holding successful meetings, and common mistakes she’s experienced.

After my conversation with Kate, we’ll switch to our Data & Insights segment. Typically, in this segment, I highlight one piece of benchmarking data that was published in HST’s State of the Industry Report late last year. However, for this episode, I want to look at three metrics and how you can use them to drive your ASC’s growth strategy.

And lastly – the countdown to #ASCA2024 is over! This episode comes out on Tuesday, April 16th, so hopefully you’re listening as you’re traveling to Orlando, or maybe you’re hanging by the pool at the Gaylord Palms right now. But either way, HST has so many fun things planned for the show. When you swing by our booth (next to ASCA’s at Booth #709), you can take a quiz to win a prize and give all our products a test drive. We hope to see you all there.
