About the AHA. The American Hospital Association (AHA) is the national organization that represents and serves all types of hospitals, health care networks, and their patients and communities.

History AHA was founded in 1924 by six cardiologists to address what they perceived as tremendous public ignorance about heart disease. AHA was originally founded to facilitate sharing research findings with physicians and promote further study of heart disease. The AHA went public in late 1948 during a network radio contest, The Walking Man, on the Truth or Consequences program hosted by Ralph Edwards.
