AHA Testifies to Congress on Healthcare Cybersecurity

On behalf of our nearly 5,000 member hospitals, health systems and other health care organizations, our clinician partners – including more than 270,000 affiliated physicians, 2 million nurses and other caregivers – and the 43,000 health care leaders who belong to our professional membership groups, the AHA thanks the Subcommittee for the opportunity to testify on, and your interest in, the important issue of cybersecurity threats faced by hospitals, health systems and the health care provider field. Now more than ever, we all realize how vital hospitals are to the nation’s critical infrastructure and how important they are to our communities’ health and safety.
