Who is Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center?

We are an independently operated facility based in Rockford, Illinois, designed to offer patients a safe, comfortable and hygienic place to have their procedures performed by their own surgeons and avoid the excessive costs often affiliated with hospitals. Locally, we are known as RASC. Since 1994, we have performed more than 149,000 procedures of various kinds in our center.

At RASC, we care for people of all ages, including children. We also accept major insurance carriers including Medicare.

Because RASC is independently operated, physicians are not employed by the facility. That gives you the power to pair your doctor with our facility and our expert medical staff.

When you are discussing your health with your doctor and considering your options for outpatient surgery, be sure to "Ask for RASC." We look forward to being a part of your healthcare journey.
