NHMA knows your story matters, and we believe you should share it.

Why? Because health care professionals see the real impact the health care system has on patients every day. By sharing stories of the realities patients and providers experience on a daily basis, you help amplify voices and experiences that would otherwise stay in the shadows. Knowledge is power, and policymakers need to stay informed on what is affecting the communities they represent and how experts can help them navigate through solutions. You can help drive advocacy toward a more equitable and just system by sharing with NHMA today.
