&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;LASCA Members&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lunch and Learn ZOOM Series&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, August 12, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12 Noon - 1:00 PM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AI for ASCs: Practical Tools Every Administrator&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can Start Using Today&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;What AI is (and what it isn't), why it matters now that staffing, costs, and reimbursement pressure are all hitting at once, and how administrators and business office managers can put free AI chat tools to work this week on real tasks:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;summarizing payer bulletins&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;translating contract language&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;drafting policies and board materials&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;prepping for tough vendor or payer conversations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana"&gt;Mat will walk through the guardrails every surgery center should k&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;now, including what never to paste into a chat, how to stay HIPAA-safe, and how to catch AI when it's wrong.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lasca.wildapricot.org/resources/Pictures/Matt%20Giladi.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Mat Giladi is the co-founder and CEO of AmbuSun. His team pairs healthcare veterans with 30+ years of combined experience across ASCs, anesthesia, and physician practices with engineers who worked on AI before ChatGPT existed, and he's a regular guest on this topic on The ASC Podcast with John Goehle&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;There is no cost to participate but we would like you to RSVP so that we know how many to expect. We will send out the ZOOM Link no later than 5 PM on Tuesday, August 11th.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Sponsored by:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
