Survey findings: New Yorkers are losing access to care as a fiscal crisis hammers hospitals statewide
HANYS and our allied associations' new report details how New Yorkers are losing access to healthcare services amid escalating care delivery costs and persistent workforce shortages. It calls on policymakers to make immediate and sustained investments and policy changes to stabilize the healthcare system. HANYS members are strongly encouraged to read and share the report and our summary of key takeaways, and speak directly with policymakers and local media to discuss the fiscal and workforce challenges they face.
HANYS, government relations teams strategize advocacy priorities
HANYS members strategized top priorities and developed year-end 2022 and 2023 state and federal advocacy agendas at HANYS’ 2023 Government Relations Advocacy Strategy Session Thursday. Thank you to our government relations and regional association colleagues for their engagement and advocacy partnership as we work together to provide critical support to hospitals, health systems and continuing care providers across the state.

Board oversight tips for financial turnaround
A financial crisis exacerbated by workforce shortages and expense increases is gripping hospitals and health systems. The December edition of Trends offers strategies for boards to effectively oversee the financial turnaround of their organizations and help ensure they survive this long, challenging process.
Congress staves off government shutdown
The stopgap spending bill passed by the Senate late Thursday extends current funding levels on programs, including HANYS-supported Medicare-dependent Hospital and enhanced Low-volume Adjustment programs, through Dec. 23, and gives lawmakers an extra week to finish a $1.7 trillion year-end spending package. HANYS will continue to monitor and update members on how the end-of-year package will impact the healthcare industry.
