FAH Committee Structure

Those who know the investor-owned hospital industry best – the health care professionals who manage and operate our high-quality hospitals – constitute the Federation of American Hospitals (FAH) membership and its committee structure, which long has been the backbone of our organization. The active involvement of our members is even more essential as political and regulatory issues facing the industry have grown in complexity, importance and political sensitivity.

The members who voluntarily serve on FAH committees consist of top executives from various management areas of operations including: finance, government relations, public affairs, quality assurance, and materials management.

The Federation of American Hospitals' key committees are:
