The American Hospital Association is a lobbying powerhouse, championing the interests of its thousands of member hospitals before Congress. Now, though, the trade group is dipping its toes

companies — because it’s so different from their typical bread and butter. But the not-for-profit AHA says it’s well-positioned to get health care startups off the ground because it can


offer up their technologies to its almost 5,000 hospital and health system members. “Coming from a trusted reference like the AHA, we would certainly pay attention to the company they sent
