HANYS

What HANYS does

HANYS (Healthcare Association of New York State, Inc.) is a nonprofit 501(c)(6) membership association founded in 1925 and headquartered in Rensselaer, New York. It represents nonprofit and public hospitals, health systems, nursing homes, home care agencies, and other healthcare organizations across New York State, providing advocacy representation at state and federal levels, quality improvement collaboratives, professional development, emergency preparedness support, data analytics, and regulatory compliance guidance. The organization operates a community-led go-to-market model, recruiting and retaining members through advocacy, education, and peer networking rather than direct sales of a software product.

HANYS generates revenue primarily through recurring membership dues, supplemented by three wholly-owned subsidiaries: DataGen (data analytics for healthcare organizations), TruePlan Benefit and Retirement Advisors (benefit and retirement advisory services), and HANYS Marketplace (an online marketplace for healthcare business services). Core programmatic offerings include the Quality Advocacy, Research and Innovation (QARI) program, Project Firstline infection control training (in partnership with the CDC), government affairs advocacy, member-only data visualizations, education and events programming, and the Member Spotlight program showcasing member innovation. The organization maintains an independently governed board of trustees comprised of member hospital leaders and has no parent company or private equity ownership. As of June 2026, Thomas J. Quatroche Jr., PhD serves as President and CEO following the retirement of Bea Grause, RN, JD.

Direct peers

• Michigan Health & Hospital Association: Statewide hospital association for Michigan. Direct functional peer to HANYS, providing advocacy, quality, workforce, and data services to nonprofit hospitals and health systems across the state.
• Ohio Hospital Association: Statewide hospital association for Ohio with comparable membership, advocacy, and quality improvement programs. Useful peer benchmark for HANYS in terms of operating scale and diversified earned-income strategy.
• Florida Hospital Association: Statewide hospital association representing Florida's hospitals and health systems. Directly comparable to HANYS in advocacy, quality improvement, and member services structure, with overlapping Medicaid and workforce policy challenges.
• Texas Hospital Association: Statewide hospital association representing Texas hospitals and health systems. Operates the same membership, advocacy, and quality improvement playbook as HANYS and serves as a comparable state-association benchmark in terms of scale and policy intensity.
• Illinois Health and Hospital Association: Statewide hospital and health system association for Illinois. Operates a near-identical model to HANYS: membership dues, state/federal advocacy, quality collaboratives, and workforce/equity programs targeting nonprofit and public providers.
• California Hospital Association: Statewide hospital association representing California's nonprofit and public hospitals and health systems. Structurally the closest peer to HANYS: same membership-based advocacy model, same continuum-of-care representation, and same state-level policy focus, just in a much larger state.
• Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association: Statewide hospital association for Massachusetts. Comparable to HANYS in scale and structure, with parallel advocacy, quality, and workforce programs serving nonprofit hospitals in a heavily regulated Medicaid environment.

Broad incumbents

• American Hospital Association: National hospital trade association with which HANYS maintains a strategic federal advocacy partnership. AHA operates at the national level and overlaps directly with HANYS on federal policy, quality programs, and member services, but covers the entire U.S. rather than a single state.

Regional players

• Greater New York Hospital Association: Regional hospital association serving hospitals in the New York City metropolitan area. Directly overlaps HANYS' geographic footprint, with shared members and parallel advocacy and workforce programs, but focused on the downstate region.
• New Jersey Hospital Association: Statewide hospital association for New Jersey. Closest geographic peer to HANYS in the Northeast, operating the same dues-funded, advocacy-and-quality model, but serving a neighboring rather than overlapping state.
