AGA President Dr. Lawrence Kim has been named board chair-elect of the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) — a key organization shaping quality standards across 6,800+ outpatient centers nationwide.
Dr. Kim has spent two decades helping elevate the safety and performance of ambulatory care as an AAAHC surveyor and most recently as secretary/treasurer. Now, he moves into a role that will influence how ASCs — including many high-volume GI centers — are evaluated and supported over the full 1,095-day accreditation cycle.
