At a time of major change and great uncertainty in U.S. healthcare, the leaders of state hospital associations are doing everything possible not only to ensure the survival of the hospitals and health systems that are their members, but also to work to create and strengthen their bonds with their communities.
One of those associations is HANYS, the Healthcare Association of New York State. The Rensselaer-based association states on its website that “HANYS works to ensure every New Yorker has access to affordable, high-quality care. We advance the health of individuals and communities by providing leadership, representation and service to not-for-profit and public hospitals, health systems, nursing homes and other healthcare organizations throughout New York state…. HANYS advocates in Albany and Washington on behalf of our members and the healthcare needs of New Yorkers. We engage with policymakers, agencies, community partners, the media and more, while collaborating frequently with regional, state and national associations. We also provide education, data analysis, quality improvement initiatives, business services and more to our members and partners. HANYS is always there for our members, so they can be there for their communities.”
