SDAHO PAC surpasses last year’s campaign efforts

The SDAHO PAC is poised for a record year in 2016, with contributions to date nearing the $35K mark amid an increase in both the number of donors and contributions.

Your dollars help to positively impact candidate races in the primary and general elections to further our advocacy efforts on a wide range of issues including Medicaid expansion.

We express our sincere appreciation to those who have contributed, and donors will receive some well-earned recognition at the 90th Annual Convention in September. The 32 facilities that have achieved their Facility Goals are eligible for drawings for free Annual Convention registration and a travel scholarship for the AHA Annual Meeting.

The PAC will continue receiving donations until Dec. 31, and we are excited about our progress toward reaching our year-end goal:

• 2016 PAC Goal: $46,000
• Total donated to date: $34,890

A big thanks to the health system advocacy group for its efforts. The team mailed out 2,537 fundraising letters, drawing 191 total contributions with an average contribution of $182.
