Premier, Hospital Groups, Ask Congress for Continued Financial Support throughout the Pandemic

Premier joined seven other national hospital organizations in calling on Congress to act now to ensure hospitals and health systems have the additional resources they need to continue to care for their communities and patients during the ongoing pandemic. Premier and the other groups underscored the ongoing financial pressures hospitals and health systems have faced since the beginning of the pandemic including delays in non-emergent procedures, increased supply expenses and, most recently, workforce shortages and the resulting spike in labor costs.
