AAHKS Writes Congress in Support of Physician-Owned Hospitals

Last week, AAHKS joined 85 national and state medical societies to write Congress in support of House Resolution 9001, the Physician Led and Rural Access to Quality Care Act. This bill would create critical physician hospital ownership exemptions for communities that face the greatest demand for additional hospital services. H.R. 9001 would allow physician ownership in rural hospitals for hospitals that are more than a 35-mile drive from a main–patient campus of the hospital or critical access hospital.
