The Federation of American Hospitals (FAH) plays a prominent role in shaping public policy for many important health-related issues of interest to investor-owned hospitals, their patients, and their families. This section of the FAH website contains public statements developed and sent by FAH or FAH along with allied organizations, to Members of Congress and Congressional staff, federal regulators, and members of the judiciary. It also contains relevant research findings generated by FAH and entities such as the Hospital Quality Alliance, of which the Federation of American Hospitals is a member, as well as listings of FAH-supported coalitions and useful links to other organizations.
