Kahn has led the association that advocates for tax-paying hospitals since 2001. This year he was a critical voice following the Change Healthcare cyberattack in February that compromised the protected health information of more than 100 million people. He outlined steps healthcare organizations and policymakers should take to navigate the aftermath and prepare for future threats. Under Kahn’s leadership, FAH has continued to inform Congress on how health policies would affect healthcare providers and access to care. FAH is a leading member of the Coalition to Strengthen America’s Healthcare, which advocates for legislative priorities that support hospitals and improve patient care. It’s also a founding member of the Keep Americans Covered coalition, advocating for Congress to extend the Affordable Care Act’s premium tax credits, scheduled to expire at the end of 2025.
