Advocacy
Government plays an integral part of virtually every hospital operation—whether it be reimbursements, regulations, or inspections. Our political advocacy program is essential to tell the “hospital story at the federal, state or local level. While CHA directs the efforts in both the Congress, the State Legislature, and the State and Federal Administration, the Hospital Council tells the story to Members of Congress and State Legislature when they are home and when working with their local staffs.
Local Public Policy Priorities
The Hospital Council advocates for member hospitals at the city, county and regional governmental level and supports local decision-making and such critical issues as health reform, workforce, the safety net, access to care, emergency medical services, reimbursement, patient safety, community benefits and more.
Hospital Council Education Programs
The Hospital Council is committed to serving the educational needs of its members. Our goal is to provide timely and cost effective learning opportunities through webinars, workshops, meetings and events that enhance hospital operations and performance, respond to advances in health care, address emerging issues, meet state and federal regulations and maintain quality delivery of patient care.
