New Hampshire Hospital Association

What New Hampshire Hospital Association does

The New Hampshire Hospital Association (NHHA) is a non-profit trade association founded in 1934 that serves as the unified voice for New Hampshire's 31 hospitals and health systems (26 acute care and 5 specialty hospitals). Headquartered in Concord, NH, with approximately 12 staff members, NHHA delivers three core service categories: (1) advocacy representation at state and federal levels, including operation of the NH HosPAC political action committee; (2) educational programming, including the annual NHHA/FHC Annual Meeting and workforce development initiatives; and (3) informational products including legislative updates, hospital capacity reports, and economic impact studies. The organization operates through three revenue streams: hospital membership dues, corporate membership fees, and the Endorsed Business Partner program, which vets and endorses service providers across categories including payments, staffing, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle management.

NHHA's affiliated Foundation for Healthy Communities (founded 1968, reorganized 1995) extends its operational reach by managing quality improvement initiatives including the Eastern Quality Improvement Collaborative, the Rural Health Quality Improvement Network, and the Granite State Health Care Coalition for emergency preparedness. NHHA's go-to-market is relationship-driven, with direct advocacy engagement targeting New Hampshire's congressional delegation and state legislature on 12 priority issue areas (access to care, behavioral health, financial policy, workforce sustainability, etc.). The association represents hospitals employing 42,000+ workers who contribute $700M+ in uncompensated care annually, giving NHHA substantial aggregate economic relevance disproportionate to its small staff footprint. NHHA is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of member hospital representatives and holds no parent company, operating as a standalone non-profit with no outside equity funding.
