“Thank you to the almost 100 leaders who have already stepped forward to support this year’s Wisconsin Hospitals State PAC & Conduit campaign,” said David Hartberg, CEO of Vernon Memorial Hospital and WHA 2025 Advocacy Committee Chair. “Your personal contributions are critical to maintaining a strong, unified voice for Wisconsin’s hospitals in the State Capitol.”
The Wisconsin Hospitals State PAC & Conduit is the vehicle for individuals to support candidates for state office who understand and value the vital role hospitals and health systems play in their communities. Early momentum is important and every contribution helps strengthen hospital advocacy efforts.
