Connecticut Hospital Association

Whether it's strong, effective advocacy or high quality, cost effective member services, CHA's work on behalf of its hospitals focuses on three strategic pillars: leadership in quality and patient safety, improving community health, and shaping financing and delivery system changes.

Advocacy during the 2013 Legislative Session is focused on opposing Governor Malloy’s $43.8 billion state budget proposal that closes an estimated $1.2 billion deficit in part by cutting $207 million to hospitals in FY 2014 and $341.5 million in FY 2015.  A $550 million cut to hospitals will shred the state's healthcare safety net and devastate hospitals—affecting patients, employees, the economy, and every community in the state.

In addition to engaging with legislators on issues of importance to hospitals and the healthcare community, the Connecticut Hospital Association provides a forum to discuss Connecticut hospitals' ambitious patient safety, diversity, and quality initiatives as well as the continuing reimbursement issues facing hospitals statewide.
