Since 1982, the Hospital Alliance of Tennessee (HAT) has worked
to promote the value and benefits of not-for-profit community hospitals
in Tennessee. Our members are both private and governmental health
care facilities, ranging from small, rural hospitals to major teaching
and research facilities. They are the foundation of health care
services in Tennessee.
HAT uses its strong presence on Capitol Hill to advance sound public
policy and to promote the importance and value of Tennessee's not-for-profit
community hospitals. Through ongoing interaction with representatives
from the executive to the legislative branches of the government,
HAT is a champion for not-for-profit hospitals. HAT specializes
in professional, effective lobbying at all levels of government
on issues such as tax exemptions, community benefits, TennCare,
managed care and Certificate of Need.
Through focused efforts to represent the vital interests of not-for-profit
hospitals, HAT membership provides:
- A strong voice on Capitol Hill
- Education, government and public relations tools to support
our member hospitals
- Public relations support to ensure a strong voice in the media
- Quality, up-to-date information
- A passion for the not-for-profit hospital cause
