Advocacy

CHA's advocacy efforts strive to shape the impact of federal legislation and policies. Based on priorities determined collaboratively by the membership, staff, Advocacy and Public Policy Committee, and the CHA board, the advocacy team — located in Washington, D.C., focuses on initiatives that not only strengthen the viability of the Catholic health ministry as not-for-profit providers but also support the ministry's emphasis on enhancing the current health care system to create a just and compassionate health care system

In many areas where we can have great impact working together than separately, CHA works closely with the advocacy leaders of Catholic health systems and facilities to coordinate advocacy initiatives on key priorities. Additionally CHA not only collaborates with Catholic partners and other health organizations, but works in partnership with other appropriate key players in addressing areas of mutual concern.
