The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an association of
physicians (primarily
anesthesiologists) whose stated goal is to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology and improve the care of the patient.Founded in
1905 as Long Island Society of Anesthetists by a group of nine colleagues meeting in the
Long Island College Hospital, the society changed its name to New York Society of Anesthetists in
1911. In
1935 the society became known as American Society of Anesthetists and moved into rent-free accommodation in the E. R. Squibb & Sons building in
New York City, shared with Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology. The association assumed its current in
1945 and moved its headquarters to
Chicago in
1947. The society later moved to its current location of
Park Ridge, Illinois, constructing purpose-built offices in
1960 and
1992. It now maintains a second office in
Washington, D.C. to house its Office of Governmental and Legal Affairs.
