Members of Congress will be in their home districts in August and again in October for their district work periods. Make the most of this time by meeting with your lawmakers at your hospital or during a community event and discussing the impact proposed legislation and policies would have on hospitals’ ability to provide care.
Congress and the administration have focused their efforts on healthcare affordability and price transparency, among other healthcare priorities. Use the resources below to shape conversations about these priorities with your lawmakers.
The AHA Political Action Committee (AHAPAC) allows eligible hospital leaders to make voluntary donations toward the support of federal candidates of both political parties who support the hospital policy agenda. AHAPAC is bipartisan, working with state hospital associations and others.
For more information, please email pac@aha.org.

AHA Advocacy Alliances were created to help you engage your legislators on specific issues that have a direct impact on health care quality improvement and your ability to continue providing quality health services in your community. Alliance activities include special briefing calls and emails to keep members up-to-date on key developments, breakout sessions at American Hospital Association Advocacy Days, direct member outreach and other issue-specific resources.

The Coalition to Strengthen America’s Health Care was formed to protect access to the best quality health care for all Americans and health care quality improvement. We are a community of more than one million people who recognize the important role hospitals play in communities all over America, and advocate on their behalf to elected officials in Washington who too-often put funding for patient care on chopping block.
