The Value Initiative: Framing the Issue of Affordable Health Care
Hospitals and health systems address affordability and bring value to their communities.
Affordable health care is one of the biggest concerns facing families, employers and government. America’s hospitals and health systems are tackling the challenge head on. And through AHA’s Value Initiative, we are providing leadership to the health care field on the issues of affordability and value. How?
The Value Initiative provides AHA members with the education, resources and tools to advance affordable health care and promote value within their communities.
The Value Initiative educates the public, policymakers and other stakeholders on this issue and collaborates with others in the health care field to develop new solutions to improve affordability.
