The Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA) is a statewide trade association representing Nebraska's hospitals and health systems since 1927. The hospital and health system field is the only sector of Nebraska’s economy that touches every citizen and business of Nebraska. Not only do hospitals support a healthy Nebraska and provide essential health care services, they are also among the largest employers and economic drivers in most regions of the state. This sector’s highly trained and educated workforce uses high tech, cutting edge technology that is the envy of the world. Hospitals and health care are the foundation upon which communities in Nebraska are built.

The NHA serves as the influential voice of its members in the health care legislative and public arenas, promoting delivery of quality health care and influencing public opinion of hospitals and health networks. Members depend on the Association for information, advice, education and changes in health care regulations, legislation, trends and other issues. 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 culmination of the efforts of the NHA is to assist our members to continue to be viable hospitals that provide quality care to Nebraska’s patients and communities.
