Constituency Sections

Focus on Shared Interests of Members

The AHA's seven constituency sections are a unique blend of forum and network, linking members with shared interests and missions. Through the sections, members put political, economic and market-driven issues on AHA's agenda where they help shape AHA services and policy.

Each section is guided by a governing council composed of 20-24 individuals representing health care leadership from some of the country's leading hospitals and health systems, and serve as representatives of their members peers.

The Constituency Sections exist to help members make a real difference by:

• making available up-to-the-minute information and learning tools to address the unique concerns of section members
• mobilizing grass roots support for key advocacy positions
• providing opportunities for national recognition and contribution back to the field through serving on section governing councils
• offering networking opportunities to help members connect and learn from each other
