Our Vision is of a society of healthy communities where
all individuals reach their highest potential for health

Workforce
Hospital care, at its core, is about people caring for people. Yet combined pressures - a shrinking workforce, an aging population, financial concerns, increased demand and other stresses - have translated into a severe personnel deficit.
AHA is working to represent your concerns and to bring you the resources to understand and address workforce issues. AHA's Commission on Workforce, made up of experts from within and outside health care, was formed to bring expertise and leadership to these efforts.
In addition, AHA is working closely with the state, regional, and metropolitan hospital associations and our affiliated organizations:
- AHA Solutions, Inc.
- American Organization of Nurse Executives
- American Society for Healthcare Human Resources Administration.
- Health Forum
- Health Research and Educational Trust
- Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development
