Our Approach

Advocating for Policy Change

PMHA advocates for policy that supports the unique healthcare needs of rural communities. From advocating for increased funding for rural healthcare facilities to promoting initiatives that address social determinants of health, our group is dedicated to creating a more equitable healthcare landscape for all Pennsylvanians. Along with our government relations partners, we have been strong advocates for policy changes that ensure the sustainability and prosperity of rural hospitals.

Our Advocacy for Rural Hospitals

PMHA is at the forefront of advocating for the varying needs of rural hospitals in Pennsylvania. We understand the challenges these facilities face, from limited resources to workforce shortages, and we are committed to advocating for policies and initiatives that support their success. Our team recently provided information directly to the House Health Subcommittee on Health Facilities and educated their subcommittee on the issues that rural health centers are facing.
