NJHA will lead a Garden State contingent to the American Hospital Association’s 2016 Annual Membership Meeting May 1 - 4 in Washington, D.C. This annual event provides updates on key policy issues and an opportunity to meet with members of New Jersey’s congressional delegation, making it one of the year’s most important healthcare advocacy events.

This year’s AHA gathering, to be held at the Washington Hilton, will feature several speakers and briefings to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the hospital field. Key healthcare topics to be discussed at the AHA Forums include a session on engaging in new partnerships between hospitals and post-acute providers to improve care and lower costs, how health plan consolidation affects hospitals and patients and a congressional chiefs of staff panel discussing how policy and politics play out in healthcare.

Trustee education sessions include a presentation by James E. Orlikoff, president of Orlikoff & Associates and senior consultant to the Center for Healthcare Governance, who will present on the governance implications of consumerism and a second trustee session regarding governance of collaborative partnerships that improve community health.

The agenda contains prominent keynote speakers such as Politico White House correspondent Mike Allen; Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday; and Megyn Kelly, anchor of Fox News Channel’s The Kelly File, who will explore the current political climate and will share election year insights.
