Telling the Hospital Story: Member Resources
The goal of the Seizing the Conversation initiative is to balance the public narrative and better tell the hospital story. AHA is working to build a visible and consistent drumbeat of stories and examples that illustrate the crucial role hospitals and health systems play in their communities, as well as push back on biased research and commentary.
Benefits to Communities
The mission of all hospitals and health systems, regardless of size and type of ownership, is to care for their patients and communities. In addition to providing financial assistance to those in need, hospitals have programs that are responsive to their community’s needs. These community benefits include help with housing, accessing healthy food, educational programs, health screenings, transportation to ensure patients arrive at needed medical appointments, vaccination clinics and other programs to address the many other needs that affect the community’s health and well-being.
