Indiana hospitals have made great strides in lowering the price of your care, but policies being considered at the State Capitol could have unintended consequences and put access to care at risk.

Real solutions don’t create new problems.

Let’s work together on smart, actionable policies that address our health care challenges – policies that treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

It’s time to stand up for your doctors, nurses, and health care professionals. They are your neighbors. Tell your legislators that your hospital is your LIFELINE.
