IHA brings hospital/health care leaders together to identify issues of mutual concern and to address these issues in a responsible manner that ensures quality health care for those we serve throughout Idaho.

 

Preventing or modifying improper legislation and unreasonable regulation, while supporting appropriate laws, is a major activity of IHA. Member hospitals are represented before elected officials and government agencies. The voice of IHA members is heard on a national level, as well, by way of American Hospital Association regional policy board and various council and committee representatives from this state. Key efforts include:

 

  • State legislative and governmental agency input from the Association.
  • Federal legislative and agency input in cooperation with AHA.
  • Political Action Committee involvement via IHA/PAC.
  • Liaison with allied health associations.
