Jennifer Mendrzycki, president and CEO of TMC Health, Robert Vissers, M.D., president and CEO of Boulder Community Health, and Kristin Horvath, AHA senior associate director of federal relations, May 5 joined host Aimee Kuhlman, AHA vice president of advocacy and grassroots, to discuss the importance of advocating on behalf of hospitals and health systems and successful approaches to advocacy and grassroots at the 2025 AHA Annual Membership Meeting.
