title: AHA 100th anniversary. Good Samaritan business.
abstract: In recognition of the American Hospital Association's centennial, we examine the AHA's long history, how it has evolved with the constantly changing healthcare industry and where the next century will take the nation's largest trade group. Our special section features interviews with AHA President Richard Davidson and two of his predecessors. We also look at the hospital's changing role in the community and the AHA's lobbying legacy. In addition, we've included highlights of the association's upcoming centennial membership meeting.
