Our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tanya Sharp participated in an Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C. on September 13, 2017.
Tanya and other Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA) members attended the Nebraska Breakfast, a breakfast held on Wednesdays when both the Senate and the House of Representatives are in session. This breakfast gives all Nebraskans the chance to hear about issues our federal representatives are facing.
Later, the group met with Senator Ben Sasse and other healthcare staffers. Tanya and other members had the chance to talk about issues their Nebraska Hospitals are encountering. They also learned of problems policy makers face in Washington, D.C.
