Welcome to NHHA
The New Hampshire Hospital Association (NHHA) is dedicated to providing leadership through advocacy, education, and information to support our hospital members and health care systems.
NHHA works diligently to help its members adapt to the immense challenges and shifts taking place in the health care industry as they strive to improve the health of the patients and communities they serve.
A Message From Our President
In health care, collaboration isn’t a luxury – it’s a lifeline. Every day, hospitals and health systems across our state face new challenges, from workforce shortages and financial pressures to evolving regulatory demands and growing community needs. And yet, what continues to sustain us – and move us forward – is our ability to stand together.
That’s why the theme of this year’s Annual Meeting, Strength in Unity: Navigating the Evolving Landscape Together, could not be more fitting. Our members know that when we come together – to share knowledge, speak with one voice and support one another – we are better equipped to serve our mission.
Our unity is not just about alignment; it’s about trust. It’s built on the conversations we’ve had over the past year, on the shared goals we’ve set and on the actions we’ve taken together.
The road ahead is uncertain in many ways. But what gives me confidence is the resilience and dedication I see from hospital leaders across our state who continue to innovate, adapt and push forward – not alone, but side by side.
Our Annual Meeting will be a time to reconnect, reflect and recharge. It will also be a time to look ahead and strengthen the partnerships that will carry us through whatever comes next. I look forward to seeing you there.
Be healthy, stay well!
Steve Ahnen
President
