Healthcare Association of Hawaii

What Healthcare Association of Hawaii does

Healthcare Association of Hawaii (HAH) is a nonprofit healthcare trade association founded in 1939 and headquartered at 707 Richards Street, PH2, in Honolulu. It functions as the unified advocacy, reimbursement, quality improvement, and workforce development body for the continuum of healthcare providers across Hawaii, representing hospitals, post-acute care facilities, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospices, community health centers, assisted living facilities, and ambulance providers statewide.

HAH's core program is the Hawaii Healthcare Emergency Management (HHEM) Coalition, operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary through the nonprofit Hawaii Hospital Education and Research Foundation (HHERF). HHEM is a federally qualified statewide all-hazards emergency management coalition that provides integrated communication systems, patient tracking, and deployment coordination for disaster medical response teams, Hospital Emergency Response Teams (HERT), Incident Management Assistance Teams (IMAT), and Incident Specialty Teams. The coalition serves 130+ emergency management members and connects 186+ healthcare organizations across all Hawaii counties (Kauai, Maui, Hawaii Island, Oahu). HAH also delivers the Healthcare Workforce Initiative (started 2018), the CNA+ to LPN Bridge earn-and-learn program, the HHERF Scholarship Fund, MedQuest Training, MockSurvey365 for regulatory survey preparation, Community Health Needs Assessments, and Career Ladders resources.

HAH generates revenue through annual membership dues from healthcare organizations across the continuum of care (specific dues undisclosed) supplemented by federal Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) grant funding channeled through the Hawaii State Department of Health to HHEM via contract for services. It is an affiliate member of the American Hospital Association, American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living, and the National Alliance for Care at Home, and pursues additional consulting services revenue. The organization is staffed by 11-50 employees led by President and CEO Hilton Raethel, and reaches members through its website, weekly e-newsletter, Facebook/Twitter social media, annual meetings, Advocacy Day, and the Awards & Scholarship Gala.
