The Association of Health Facility Survey Agencies (AHFSA) was established in 1968 as a not-for-profit organization to provide a forum for health care regulatory agency directors and managers to address common interests, concerns, and health care program issues. Today, AHFSA actively participates with CMS, providers, and advocacy groups in planning, implementing, and assessing the quality and effectiveness of health care programs.

The mission of the Association of Health Facility Survey Agencies (AHFSA) is to strengthen the role of its member state agencies in advocating, establishing, overseeing, and coordinating health care standards that will assure the highest practicable quality of health care for all state and federally regulated health care providers.

These goals are met through member advocacy to various organizations and agencies; through the gathering, communicating and exchanging of health related information; through advice and recommendation to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, Inc. (ASTHO) and other health care agencies, associations and entities; through helping to improve the quality of state and territorial health survey programs; and, through the professional development of its members.
