Health Care Coalition Campaign Highlights Life-Saving Care Hospitals Provide

December 13, 2024

A digital, cable and broadcast advertising campaign from the Coalition to Strengthen America’s Healthcare spotlights the life-saving care only hospitals can deliver, featuring the story of Beckett, a baby born with a congenital heart defect. Beckett required three open-heart surgeries performed by a coordinated team of over 40 health care professionals, all under one roof.

Today, Beckett is thriving as a healthy 1-year-old. The ad emphasizes the critical role hospitals play in providing specialized care and calls on policymakers to support resources for patient care.

OHA supports the Coalition to Strengthen America’s Healthcare, which received the Dr. Eli Crew Community Service Excellence Award at the 2024 OHA Annual Meeting & Education Summit. Click here to learn more about the coalition and watch the ad.
