Advocacy & Policy
One voice for hospitals before the Council, the District and Capitol Hill.
Opioid Response
Emergency department protocols and treatment pathways that meet people where they are.
Workforce
Pipelines, training and retention strategies for 35,000 health care workers.
Our mission
We are the unifying force advancing hospitals and health systems in the District of Columbia — promoting policies and initiatives that strengthen our system of care, preserve access, eliminate disparities and promote better health outcomes for patients and communities.
