Alabama Hospital Association

We appreciate Congressman Shomari Figures taking the time to sit down with AlaHA's rural constituency section in Montgomery for an in-depth discussion on the challenges facing rural hospitals and the path forward. From workforce shortages to financial sustainability, rural hospitals are essential lifelines for their communities, and strong federal support is critical to their success. We value having a committed advocate for rural hospitals in Washington, D.C., and look forward to working together to ensure access to care for all Alabamians. #RuralHealthcare #AlabamaHospitals #HealthcareAdvocacy

Last night, we hosted the Alabama Hospital Association’s Legislative Reception, bringing together hospital CEOs, administrators, and state legislators to discuss key healthcare issues impacting Alabama’s hospitals and communities. This annual event provides an important opportunity for hospital leaders to connect with policymakers, highlight the challenges facing healthcare, and discuss solutions to strengthen hospitals across the state. We appreciate everyone who joined us for these critical conversations. #WeAreAlabamaHospitals

Instead of just bread and milk, consider canned goods, energy bars, and items to sustain you for at least three days. Don’t forget to charge your phone and stay updated on emergency alerts. Plan ahead to keep you and your loved ones safe! Hospitals and their staff are ready 24/7 to provide care no matter the conditions. #WinterPreparedness #WeAreAlabamaHospitals
