About LEAd

The South Carolina Hospital Association would like to invite you to join in our efforts to SHAPE THE DEBATE for both state and national healthcare related issues. Legislators in SC and in Washington, DC make decisions that impact your hospitals on a daily basis. As we continue to face challenges with reimbursement, staffing shortages and quality and patient safety, it is very important that our elected officials understand and care about the future of the healthcare system. Learn how your voice can be heard and make an impact with those who are making decisions.

What is LEAd?

LEAd, Leadership for Education and Advocacy, is the South Carolina Hospital Association’s grassroots advocacy program that allows members to work together to make sure the healthcare community is influencing policy decisions that will affect the future of healthcare.
