AHA\u2019s regional director shared how UConn Health\u2019s founders and early leaders were very involved with the AHA as members for advocacy, federal legislative efforts, and even served on the AHA\u2019s policy board, well-before UConn Health was even founded back in the 1960s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis award pays tribute to those past leaders, and to UConn Health and its hospital\u2019s current leaders,\u201d said Spencer of the AHA.<\/p>\n

Ryan said, \u201cThis is a tremendous honor and recognition for our hospital as the American Hospital Association is one of the most prestigious, national organizations overseeing hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spencer concluded, \u201cThis significant achievement is a testament to your hospital’s steadfast commitment and support, and its profound understanding of the value of advocacy in fostering excellence in healthcare delivery and enhancing the lives of your staff, patients, and communities you serve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
