Hospital leaders and board members have an excellent opportunity to connect with members of Congress during WSHA’s Rural Advocacy Days in Washington D.C. The event provides access to your congressional delegation to help establish relationships and effectively advocate for the issues impacting rural hospitals. This trip also provides an opportunity to network among your colleagues from all parts of the state. We will focus on key issues such as hospital finances, telehealth and 340B. WSHA encourages you and members of your board or management team to join us this year!
