Kentucky Society for Healthcare Consumer Advocacy

Mission

Welcome to the Kentucky Society for Healthcare Consumer Advocacy (KSHCA) website. KSHCA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of healthcare consumer advocacy. We are an affiliate chapter of the Society for Healthcare Consumer Advocacy (SHCA) and the Kentucky Hospital Association (KHA).

Our Chapter objectives are:

  • To promote continuing education for the improvement of member’s skills.
  • To expand our roles as liaison persons between the patient and healthcare facilities through exchanging and sharing ideas and experiences with others.
  • To increase awareness regarding the patient and consumer advocacy in the healthcare community.

Since 1981, KSHCA, has proudly been involved in assisting those working in patient advocacy in providing educational meetings, conferences, resources, and e-mail blasts to our members to keep them abreast of current events in Kentucky and nationally.

We hope that you will spend some time on this website and peruse the newsletter and society information. We welcome you to complete the attached application and join KSHCA. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about our Chapter.

Membership Benefits include educational opportunities; to attend two conferences a year that are rich with vital and timely information; KSHCA Newsletter (3 times a year); valuable asset of networking with fellow KSHCA members through e-mail to discuss and share proven strategies and best practices in patient advocacy; and updates and happenings on both the state and national level through our KHA, AHA, & SHCA contacts.
