Our Mission:
The most valuable asset in today’s health care market is information. Whether you’re a single specialty or a multi-specialty facility, WASCA membership provides a network of experienced professionals that can provide your center the information it needs to stay current in this fast growing industry. WASCA provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between members experiencing the same challenges.
Employer health care costs are expected to rise almost 10% - double the annual inflation rate – in 2008, according to a study by PriceWaterhouseCoopers published June 17 in USA Today. The study predicts an additional 9.6% rise in 2009. Two factors are cited as driving up costs: A hospital building boom, and an increase in the expenses that people who have insurance are paying for people without insurance.
