The Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA) is a statewide voluntary membership not-for-profit trade association representing Nebraska's hospitals and health systems. The NHA is governed by a 19 member board of directors and works closely with its membership to provide them with state and federal legislative advocacy, health care trend and regulatory information, educational programming, communication, data reports and special services. Members rely on the NHA for information, education, advice and collaborative leadership to advance Nebraska hospitals’ ability to provide exceptional health care. Hospitals are the stewards of good health. Through our partnerships with representatives in the health care industry, legislators, government and citizens, the NHA is able to assist in the development of strong, healthy communities. The mission of the Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA) is to be the influential and unified voice for the Nebraska’s hospitals and health systems, providing leadership and resources to enhance the delivery of quality patient care and services to Nebraska communities. By 2020, the Nebraska Hospital Association will have established partnerships with leaders and be the influential resource for improving Nebraska’s health care infrastructure and policies. The NHA is committed to expertly serving members with integrity, transparency, accountability and financial stewardship. The mission of the NHA is supported by a strategic framework comprised of four pillars: advocacy and policy, financial stewardship, strategic partnerships, and quality and safety. To expertly serve NHA members, each pillar is founded in the values of integrity, transparency and accountability. Collectively, this structure, built on a value-based foundation and prominently reinforced by the four pillars, support the NHA’s mission of being the trusted leader to improve the health, well-being and quality of life of all Nebraskans.
