Reedsburg Area Medical Center’s Bob Van Meeteren Receives AHA Grassroots Champion Award
Every year, one individual in each state is honored as a “Grassroots Champion” by the American Hospital Association (AHA) in consultation with state hospital associations. This year, WHA nominated Reedsburg Area Medical Center’s President and CEO, Bob Van Meeteren, to receive the AHA Grassroots Champion Award for his service and efforts.
Van Meeteren regularly participates in WHA grassroots advocacy initiatives, including responding to Hospitals Education & Advocacy Team (HEAT) Action Alerts, attending WHA’s Advocacy Day in Madison, and making trips to Washington, D.C. for Capitol Hills. Van Meeteren is also active in the Wisconsin Hospitals State PAC & Conduit, personally contributing to the program, explaining the importance of this type of advocacy to others, and engaging with candidates through special events.
