Recognizing that safety-net hospitals can be found serving communities across the country, the National Association of Urban Hospitals is now NASH:  the National Alliance of Safety-Net Hospitals.  NASH consists of private safety-net hospitals located throughout the country that work together to advocate fair and adequate support, financing, and reimbursement from government payers – Medicare and Medicaid – for private hospitals that serve America’s neediest communities.  See NASH’s policy agenda
