2026 Healthcare Advocacy Day is canceled

HANYS is canceling our 2026 Healthcare Advocacy Day on Tuesday, Feb. 24. A major winter storm impacting southern New York state and the New York City metro area and Long Island prompted the State Legislature to cancel session on Monday Feb. 23 and significantly delay session on Feb. 24.

We thank our members, allied regional associations and Healthcare Trustees of New York State for helping plan this event.

Although this cancelation is unfortunate, our collective state budget advocacy is still needed. Please continue to reach out to your elected officials and convey our state advocacy priorities. Watch for our updates on state budget developments and calls to action.

United in purpose!

HANYS’ Advocacy Day brings together hospitals, health systems and continuing care facilities from across the state to advocate for our shared goal of advancing healthcare in New York state. Your grassroots advocacy throughout 2025 helped yield significant positive legislative outcomes. Let’s keep the momentum going! Your participation is critical to achieving our 2026 advocacy goals.
