We are proud to celebrate this milestone, and pay tribute to the founders of the NHA and the legacy they have created. The NHA, a statewide health care trade association representing Nebraska’s hospitals and health systems, was organized in 1927 as a result of an informal meeting called by Miss Homer Harris, superintendent of Clarkson, to discuss pending legislation which affected hospitals in the state of Nebraska. At that meeting, the NHA founded and appointed its first board of directors. Rev. Emil G. Chinlund of Immanuel was named president; Miss Blanche Fuller of Methodist was named vice president; Miss Ida Isaacson of Evangelical Covenant was named secretary; and Miss Homer Harris was named treasurer. In 1955, Stuart C. Mount was hired as the first NHA employee, serving as president until his retirement in 1985. Harlan Heald began his career at the NHA as associate executive director in July of 1968. He was named NHA president after Stuart Mount’s retirement in 1985, and served until his retirement in 2000. The Association’s current president, Laura J. Redoutey, took the helm on May 15, 2000. The NHA’s first office was located at near the State Capitol and its second office was in an old funeral home at 1335 H Street, near what is now The Cornhusker Marriott Hotel. We then moved into a rented suite at 1640 L Street. In 2005, land was purchased on the north side of Lincoln and a new building was completed near the interstate in 2007. The Nebraska Hospital Association changed its name in 1994 to the “Nebraska Association for Hospitals & Health Systems (NAHHS)”, only to return to its original name, Nebraska Hospital Association, in 2002. The NHA has been representing and supporting the needs of Nebraska’s rural and urban hospitals and health systems. We work closely with our membership to provide state and federal legislative advocacy, health care trend and regulatory information, educational programming, communication, data reports and special services. Through our partnerships with representatives in the health care industry, legislators, government and citizens, the NHA will continue to assist our membership to develop strong, healthy communities. The NHA will continue to take a leadership role in advancing the missions and goals of its member hospitals and health systems as providers of quality, affordable and accessible health care to all Nebraskans.
