Associate Podcasts

The AHA Associate Podcast series is one of the many ways that the AHA Associate Program connects AHA member hospitals and health systems with the business community. In the series, the AHA checks in with its business Associates to learn how they are supporting members and leveraging the program to stay connected with members and help them achieve their goals and objectives.
