The American Hospital Association (AHA) has extended its exclusive endorsement of Equipment Financing from First American Healthcare Finance for five more years. AHA Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of the AHA, awards the AHA Endorsement to products and services that help member hospitals and health care organizations achieve operational excellence.

Anthony J. Burke, senior vice president of the AHA, and president and CEO of AHA Solutions, says, “We endorsed First American’s financing solutions because they offer hospitals a simple, cost-effective way to acquire new equipment. We continue to endorse First American’s solution because it consistently stands out for its health care and technology focus, nationwide scope, breadth of financing options and exceptional service.”

Recent changes in the health care industry, including investments in electronic medical records, big data analytics relating to patient health, and the shift from fee-for-service to wellness-based service, require more capital than ever before. First American Healthcare Finance helps hospitals fulfill these capital and investment needs for the latest health care information technology, medical equipment, service and software acquisitions through leasing and financing. First American’s endorsed service can help hospitals conserve capital for patient initiatives and to hedge against equipment obsolescence.

“First American Healthcare Finance is honored to have received the AHA’s extension of this endorsement for our equipment financing solution,” said Lori Dennis, senior vice president. “We look forward to helping AHA member hospitals achieve their financial goals so they can provide the highest quality care to patients.”
