This National Hospital Week, we reflect on the dedication and contributions of our hospital partners, recognizing the impact they have on our communities.
Hospitals have faced unimaginable challenges. From navigating unprecedented health crises to meeting the ever-evolving demands of healthcare, they have shown resilience and innovation in providing quality care.
Hospitals and health systems are the backbone of our entire healthcare system. In one year, they will provide emergency care for more than 130 million people — our parents, spouses, children, and friends. Between healthcare professionals and high-quality hospitals, the health of our communities continues to improve!
