State Advocacy

From the capitol to regulatory agencies, THA represents the interests of its member hospitals/health systems. With in-depth knowledge of the issues that matter most to Texas hospitals, THA is frequently asked to provide expert testimony and help craft rules to implement recently passed legislation.
