America’s hospitals are about people taking care of people, often at the most vulnerable times in their life - a responsibility hospitals take very seriously.

Day in and day out, the people of America’s hospitals are on the front lines caring for the nation’s poor, uninsured and other patients in their communities. Hospitals are a vital part of their communities. The services they provide extend well beyond the four walls of the hospital.

As the national advocate for hospitals, the AHA has consistently supported our members as they develop fair and compassionate policies to help the uninsured. The hospital field has a strong historic commitment to the uninsured and we’re committed to doing even more to serve our communities.
