The announcement comes after the death of Republican Rep. Don Young, Alaska’s longest-serving member of Congress.
Dr. Gross’ campaign said he would file on April 1 to run as a candidate to finish Mr. Young’s remaining term and to seek a two-year term.
The surgeon, who is running as an independent, is the first person to officially declare his candidacy, but several others are reported to be considering a run, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, according to the Press.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
