The Nevada Hospital Association (NHA) is a not-for-profit, statewide professional association representing 100 percent of Nevada's acute care hospitals as well as psychiatric, rehabilitation and other specialty hospitals.
NHA's History
Formally established in 1960 and incorporated in 1971, NHA was created by hospital administrators to provide a unified forum for all types of hospitals to address such issues as reimbursement, worker's compensation, professional liability and continuing education, among others.
Over time, the emergence of major issues such as marketplace health care, restrictive government payment policies, inadequate funding for indigent care, and manpower shortages, among others, have continued to pose formidable challenges to the health care system.
NHA's Mission
Our mission is to be a membership organization serving as a statewide resource and leader in promoting public understanding of, and support for, the health care system serving Nevada's communities. NHA serves as an advocate for our members to lead in the provision of high quality, affordable and accessible health care services, resulting in healthier Nevada communities.
NHA's Vision
Our vision is to be the recognized leader and primary resource in health care advocacy and public awareness efforts for members, providers, policy makers and other stakeholders who collectively work toward common goals and objectives to satisfy the health care needs of Nevada's communities.
