VoterVOICE Sign-up Instructions

Your Political Participation and Grassroots Activism is our Most Effective Advocacy Tool.

VoterVoice is our online Grassroots tool that allows you to communicate directly with your legislators about issues important to hospitals and health systems.
1. Visit www.vhha.com/grassroots

2. The screen will display the following:

Advocacy & Policy
VHHA is involved at every stage in the development of the laws, regulations and guidelines that affect hospitals and health systems and their customers. We influence the laws enacted by the General Assembly each year and the regulations and guidelines developed by state agencies to implement those laws. VHHA plays a similar role at the federal level. VHHA also represents hospitals and health systems in influencing nongovernmental "regulation" such as JCAHO oversight. VHHA provides resources to assist its members in their compliance with these laws, regulations and guidelines.

Click here to sign up for VoterVOICE. Learn about current legislative and regulatory actions and how you can shape their outcomes.

HosPAC has information on VHHA's political action committee.
