Protect Access to Quality Healthcare
The Good Government Group Ambassadors program is a network of HCA Healthcare hospital Board Members and community leaders who stay informed and engaged on key state and federal health policy issues.
Healthcare policy decisions at the state and federal levels shape access to care, affordability, and the strength of local health systems.
Ambassadors will be equipped with timely updates, practical resources, and opportunities to engage on the issues affecting patients and providers in their state and nationwide.
Why Policy Engagement Matters
Access to Care & Affordability
Policy decisions can expand or limit coverage options, shape out-of-pocket costs, and affect whether people can access preventive care and treatment when they need it.
State Budgets & Coverage
Many healthcare issues are decided at the state level, where budget choices and program rules can influence Medicaid and other coverage pathways that patients rely on.
Local Hospital & Community Impact
Policy changes can affect how hospitals sustain services, invest in their workforce, and meet community health needs, especially in rural and underserved areas.
