Friends of THA PAC

About Friends of THA PAC

Policymakers make decisions that impact our hospitals, hospital systems, and the patients they serve every day. Friends of THA is our unified voice to help them understand the legislative and regulatory issues that impact hospitals’ ability to deliver efficient, high-quality healthcare to the people of Tennessee. By donating to Friends of THA, we can make sure the collective voice of hospitals and hospital systems is heard loud and clear.

Friends of THA is an independent, unincorporated political action committee, also referred to as a PAC. It is not affiliated with any local or national political group or party.
