American Hospital Association (AHA) is a nationally recognized hospital advocacy club
with over 5,000 hospitals and health care companies, their patients and administrators as its
members. The AHA boasts a commitment to improving health care as whole for the
communities; their mission is defined by the promise of advancing medical management for
independent entities as well as the commonwealth.
The American Hospital Association recognizes the importance of keeping health
information readily available to patients as they need it. AHA’s ongoing surveys of patient access

management processes. They offer a Physician Payment Resource Center, a look at improving
