Protect Patient Care Toolkit

Participate in IHA’s Protect Patient Care campaign to secure much-needed hospital funding. We are asking legislators to increase the state-funded Medicaid hospital rate for the first time in 28 years.

Campaign Background

With hospitals facing unprecedented financial and staffing challenges, IHA and member hospitals are coordinating on a public relations campaign, Protect Patient Care, leveraging digital and earned media.

Campaign Goals

  • Educating legislators about the challenges facing hospitals

  • Making a strong argument that a state-funded Medicaid hospital rate increase is urgently needed

  • Asking legislators to support and co-sponsor Senate Bill 1763 to increase Medicaid reimbursement

We have several assets and informational pieces for you to fully participate in the campaign. Please see our Discover the Facts brochure, which tells a powerful story about the urgent need for funding through visuals and statistics. You can access other campaign assets below.
