Exchanging ideas is what drives innovation. AHA’s Leadership Summit, which will be held July 20-22 in Nashville, Tenn., brings together many of the best minds in health care, medicine and technology with a shared passion for innovation as the road to advancing health.

Join a diverse community of senior hospital and health system leaders and clinicians, trustees and next-generation health leaders for three days of innovative insights, inspiring ideas and disruptive solutions.

See the AHA Legislative Advisory for a summary of key provisions in the bill that affect hospitals and health systems.

In this episode, Tina Freese Decker talks with Chad Golder, general counsel at the AHA. Freese Decker and Golder discuss the current legal environment, what the AHA is doing on behalf of members, and what hospital and health system leaders can do to help.
