VITAL2025 is a key way to connect with fellow leaders at hospitals providing safety net care. We’re looking for member ambassadors to give a warm welcome to first-time attendees by sharing your conference experiences, highlighting key events, and helping attendees make the most of their time at VITAL2025.

• Ambassadors will be available to their paired participant(s) to help navigate the conference and aid networking.
• Staff will provide information to ambassadors about their paired participant(s), the association, and the conference.
• Commitment:
  • Email your first-time attendee before VITAL2025.
  • Attend the first-time attendee mixer on Wednesday, June 11 from 1:15 – 2 pm
  • Be available to your assigned first-time attendee(s) and others throughout the conference.
  • Treat your first-time attendee to coffee (on us!)
• Qualifications:
  • Ambassadors must be current employees of a full member hospital or health system.
  • Ambassadors must have attended a past annual conference of America’s Essential Hospitals.
  • Ambassadors must be registered to attend VITAL2025.
