Hospitals are cornerstones of their communities, providing healing, health, and hope to everyone needing care. They assure that many other community health needs are met beyond their walls, relieving those burdens from local governments. They are critical economic drivers for their communities and the commonwealth and have been leaders in health care quality and patient safety initiatives for decades.
HAP has created this News Room to help reporters find useful information about the hospital community’s positions on various issues; locate statistics and other facts about Pennsylvania’s hospitals; and contact key HAP and DVHC staff for information and interviews.
Fact sheets provide information about key hospital and health care issues and related activities: quality and patient safety; hospital finances (including Medicare/Medicaid/Commercial Coverage and Payment Issues); Health Information Technology; Hospital Economic Impact; Medical Liability; Workforce.
CareforPA.org is HAP’s public advocacy website that informs those who care about health care in Pennsylvania about key issues impacting hospitals, health care, and communities.
