Our 2015 PAC campaign was a terrific success, raising more than $210,000 – surpassing our ambitious goal of $200,000! This was the most our PAC has ever raised in a single year. Thanks to these contributions, we have contributed more than $77,000 to state and local candidates and more than $17,000 to federal candidates thus far in the 2015-2016 cycle. We will be giving the majority of the money raised to candidates during the summer of 2016. In the 2013-2014 cycle we were able to give more than $330,000 to local candidates and more than $37,000 to federal candidates.
With the importance of the elections, your contributions play a critical role in allowing us to support the campaigns for hospital and health care champions. We truly appreciate all the PAC contributions received – large and small.
