ALASKA LEGISLATION
The healthcare industry touches many aspects of public policy and AHHA monitors a broad spectrum of issues that impact our members and healthcare delivery in Alaska. During the state legislative session, AHHA convenes a Legislative Committee to guide policy decisions and holds a weekly meeting for healthcare lobbyists and government affairs staff. We also host an annual Fly-In event in Juneau in February each year.

2022 Legislative Session
Please note: The Alaska Hospital & Healthcare Association (AHHA) was formerly the Alaska State Hospital & Nursing Home Association (ASHNHA). In May, 2022, the board passed a resolution to change the association's name in an effort to adopt a more inclusive, concise, and relevant title to represent our members and mission. Many of the resources listed on this page still have the ASHNHA title and references.
