First Time Attending as an Exhibitor to Meet Customers and Strategic Partners

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - (NewMediaWire) - September 14, 2023 - American Shared Hospital Services (ASHS) and GK Financing LLC (GKF), a subsidiary of American Shared Hospital Services (NYSE American: AMS), a leading provider of creative financial and turnkey technology solutions for advanced radiosurgery and radiation oncology services, announced today that for the first time American Shared Hospital Services (ASHS) and its subsidiary, GK Financing (GKF), will not only attend as in previous years but also exhibit at the American Society Radiation Therapy and Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting  being held in San Diego, CA on October 1-4, 2023. 

The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) is the largest radiation oncology society in the world, with nearly 10,000 members who are physicians, nurses, biologists, physicists, radiation therapists, dosimetrists and other health care professionals who specialize in treating patients with radiation therapies. The ASTRO Annual Meeting is a place where radiation oncology vendors provide and exhibit products and services to help patients in the fight against cancer using the latest software, imaging modalities, and Radiation Treatment systems.

With its focus on making the best healthcare technology accessible to patients and supporting healthcare equity for all, ASHS and GKF will have a booth to meet current customers, prospects, strategic partners, and major OEMs in person.  ASHS and GKF will show its creative financial and turnkey solution offerings to key decision makers, radiation oncologists, radiation therapists, medical physicists, and departmental Administrators to educate and inform attendees on how ASHS and GKF can help them obtain the latest medical treatment devices with no capital outlay. 

Peter Gaccione, CEO of American Shared Hospital Services and President of GK Financing, stated, "This is a key milestone for us to attend this important annual conference in person and have a dedicated booth to hold informative and educational meetings with attendees, including our current customers and key OEM's attending ASTRO.  In past years, ASHS and GKF attended this meeting as attendees, but now as an exhibitor, we have the opportunity to directly market the successful financial and turnkey solutions we provide as an agnostic company that works with all major medical device vendors in radiation oncology."

In conjunction with this year’s ASTRO meeting, the annual meeting of the American Society of Radiation Technologist (ASRT) will also be held. This Radiation Therapy Conference brings together radiation therapists, medical dosimetrists, and other leading radiation oncology experts from around the world who are driving innovation and the future of the profession.

In addition, the Society for Radiation Oncology Administrators (SROA) will also hold their annual meeting in conjunction with this year’s ASTRO. Since 1984, SROA has provided a supportive network of expertise for radiation oncology administrators to improve and advance their management of organizational operations, finance, research, and human resources.

Ranjit Pradhan, Head of Marketing and Customer Advocacy for ASHS and GKF, added, "It’s not often when three (3) major Societies come together in one location, and by having a dedicated booth here at ASTRO, we have been able to prearrange meetings at the show. We plan to show our existing and potential customers firsthand what we can offer in regard to upgrading their current Gamma Knife products, informing them on best practices that we have seen work successfully at other sites, and to hear more about any current issues facing treatment facilities in today's environment. In addition, with attendees from ASTRO, ASRT, and SROA all together in one location, we have the opportunity to meet the decisions makers and medical expertise that work in areas of radiation and radiosurgery and inform them on how we can also provide financial partnerships for MR Linacs, Proton Beam Therapy, and Linacs."

ASHS and GKF will have staff on hand to meet attendees, please visit booth #2427 to see and hear how our organization can help bring the latest medical treatment technology to your hospital or cancer center.
