AHA today released its advocacy agenda for the coming year, which details the association’s key priorities for Congress, the Administration, regulatory agencies and courts to help hospitals and health systems address unprecedented financial challenges and workforce shortages while reducing administrative burden and advancing health care access, quality, equity and innovation.  
  
AHA will work closely with members; state, regional and metropolitan hospital associations; national health care organizations; and other stakeholders to implement the advocacy strategy. Access the agenda and AHA’s latest advocacy campaigns here.
