Strategic Alliances

NAPH has formed alliances with key national organizations in health care in order to bring the latest quality information and improvement techniques to our members. Our alliances provide NAPH with the clinical expertise, analytical capability, and technical knowledge that are integral parts of our education and training programs. These partnerships also provide a vehicle for NAPH to disseminate the outstanding and innovative work that occurs every day in our member hospitals to the rest of the hospital and health care community.
