One of the largest hospital associations in the country, THA represents more than 85 percent of the state's hospitals and health care systems, which employ some 355,000 health care professionals statewide.    "Texas hospitals face numerous challenges in delivering care to our diverse, fast-growing population," said Dan Stultz, M.D., FACP, FACHE, president/chief executive officer of the Texas Hospital Association.
