the Tennessee Hospital Association (THA). The PAC raises funds that are pooled together and contributed to the campaign of candidates running for state office who are sensitive to healthcare issues. Donating to Friends of THA is an excellent way to have a positive impact on legislative and regulatory decisions that affect patients, hospitals, health systems and home health operations.</p> <p> Friends of THA is an independent, unincorporated political action committee, also referred to as a PAC. It is not affiliated with any local or national political group or party.</p> <h2> <strong><em>Friends of THA </em></strong><strong>2013 Campaign</strong></h2> <p> The <em>Friends of THA</em> PAC campaign began February 26 and will run through July 24. The goal for this year is <strong>$125,000</strong>. Please contact Beth Atwood at THA with questions, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130614065339/mailto:batwood@tha.com">batwood@tha.com</a>.</p> <h2> <strong>Fundraising Toolkit</strong></h2> <p> An online toolkit is available to aid you in your fundraising efforts.
