UHF Releases 2020 Annual Report

United Hospital Fund released its 2020 annual report, which provides highlights of the organization’s work during a tumultuous and uniquely challenging year.

Achieved with the collaboration of a diverse group of supporters, partners, and UHF board members, the accomplishments featured in the report focus on UHF’s three core issue areas: affordable and comprehensive insurance coverage and access to services; quality, equity, patient experience, and efficiency of health care delivery; and partnerships between the health care delivery system, public health agencies, and communities to address social needs affecting health.

• Established a new network of leaders in health care quality
