Advocacy
As an advocate for our region’s hospitals, we seek to develop public health policies that support our members’ efforts to deliver state-of-art healthcare services. As the regional resource for healthcare information, we strive to cultivate positive relationships with elected officials and agency leadership.
Because our members are experts in the delivery of quality care, we count on their guidance to help us establish a public policy agenda that specifically addresses our region’s concerns. In conjunction with the Ohio Hospital Association and the American Hospital Association.
