The latest legislative testimony from the Connecticut Hospital Association.
CHA works collaboratively with lawmakers to advance policies that best support healthcare.
Every year, hospitals across the state provide care and services to millions of patients.

An outstanding hospital system is one that not only supports patient well-being but also invests in local communities by partnering with others to improve health outcomes.
