We are thrilled to have found that partner in the North Carolina Healthcare Association (NCHA)- formerly known as the North Carolina Hospital Association Strategic Partners. This new, exciting collaborative effort between AHHC of NC and NCHA is just the first of many new partnerships our associations are planning towards our shared mission of strengthening the continuum of care within the acute and post-acute care settings on behalf on NC’s healthcare systems, hospitals, home health agencies, hospices, and palliative care providers.
