COMMUNITY SAFETY-NET HOSPITALS
Caring for Needy Communities
Welcome to ASH
The Alliance of Safety-Net Hospitals (ASH) is a coalition of like-minded safety-net hospitals without dedicated sources of public funding that work together to advocate policy decisions on government health care programs, most notably Medicare and Medicaid, that ensure equitable access to care for the medically vulnerable residents of the communities they serve and adequate public resources for the safety-net hospitals that serve those communities.
