  • 2012 ANNUAL REPORT Contributing to the Future of Health Care in Nebraska Dear Friends
    2012 ANNUAL REPORT Contributing to the future of health care in Nebraska Dear friends, Thank you to the 380 Nebraska Hospital Association Political Action Committee (NHA PAC) contributors—an increase of 7 percent—for your generous support in 2012. The NHA PAC raised $47, 463, a 3.4 percent increase over 2011. We would like to thank the NHA PAC Steering Committee for its outstanding leadership and guidance, which continues to fuel our success. State and federal governments pay for well over half of hospital care in Nebraska and regulate 100 percent of our activities. Those are the main reasons why the work of the Nebraska Hospital Association and its political action committee is so important. The goals and objectives of NHA PAC are fairly simple. We raise money to help support political candidates who share our belief that state and federal health policy should maximize our ability to improve health care in the communities we serve. Political advocacy has never been as important as it is today. State and federal budgets are being stretched to the breaking point and, as usual, health care is in the crosshairs to help offset these problems. It is critical that elected individuals making decisions have a passion and understanding for the unique role hospitals play in ensuring the quality of life in their communities when budget decisions are debated in Washington and Lincoln. Please take a moment to review this report, which provides an update of the NHA PAC contributors by hospital community, hospitals that met or exceeded goals, special recognition for the NHA PAC’s 2012 major donors and NHA PAC Pacesetter Award recipients.
