AHA releases 2022 Advocacy Agenda

The AHA today released its 2022 Advocacy Agenda, a forward-looking document designed to positively influence the public policy environment for patients, communities and the health care field. 

The agenda focuses on:
•    Supporting the fight against COVID-19
•    Protect patients’ access to care and coverage
•    Enhancing quality, patient safety and equity
•    Strengthening the health care workforce
•    Advancing affordability in health care
•    Advancing health system transformation
The AHA will continue to work with Congress and the Administration to focus on providing relief, ensuring a necessary recovery and rebuilding a better health care system for the future. In addition, we need to address ongoing challenges that have been further exacerbated during the pandemic, including issues related to workforce resilience and supply, health equity, and behavioral health.
