The assembly will mark CHA’s 100th anniversary, and President Obama’s remarks will conclude the three-day meeting. More than 1,000 people are expected to attend the event this year.
Sister Carol Keehan, CHA’s president and CEO, said the following in a statement: “As long-time supporters of a healthcare system that works for everyone and pays special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable, we are grateful for the President’s leadership on the ACA.”
Sister Keehan, a Daughter of Charity, has led CHA since 2005 and is a key ally for the healthcare reform law and supports the idea under Catholic social teaching that healthcare is the right of every human person. She recently penned an op-ed in the Courier-Journal urging the Supreme Court to leave the law untouched as it decides King v. Burwell.
The association represents more than 600 Catholic hospitals.

This is where leaders work through them together, face-to-face. Apply for complimentary registration now.
