Safety Net Association of PA

In a lot of states, it’s not uncommon to see smaller hospital associations that focus on specific geographic areas or types of care, but when you look closer, you see that they’re really part of their state’s largest hospital association. Is SNAP any different from those groups?

Definitely. SNAP is an independent advocate of the needs of safety-net hospitals that is not affiliated with any other hospital association in any way. It is funded solely by its members and its staff takes direction solely from those members. SNAP pursues its own, independent agenda and charts its own course of action, and while SNAP welcomes opportunities to work with other hospital groups when our interests coincide, it follows its own, independent course with little need to compromise its objectives because its members’ interests are so similar.
