AHA Board Chair-elect Tina Freese Decker, CEO of Michigan-based Corewell Health, May 21 addressed more than 400 hospital and health system leaders and investors at the 2024 Not-for-Profit Health Care Investor Conference in New York City. In its 24th year, the event, which is co-sponsored by AHA, HFMA and Barclays, connects hospital and health system leaders with municipal bond investors.

Hospital leaders “lead and offer essential health services to all communities, ensuring high quality, equitable care is provided, regardless of the ability to pay,” Freese Decker said. “In a time where over a majority of the reimbursement comes from government payers, which doesn’t cover the cost, they are determined, innovative and compassionate. We spend our days pushing aside the distractions of an enormously regulated and imperfect system so we can keep our focus where it belongs — on the people we serve. I know you will appreciate hearing their stories and how they are meeting the challenges and providing exceptional patient care.”
