The Association of Hispanic Healthcare Executives (AHHE) was founded in 1988 as a national voluntary organization seeking to foster programs and policies to increase the presence of Hispanics in health administration professions. AHHE is the first organization devoted exclusively to Hispanic healthcare executives and to the education of the healthcare industry about the Hispanic healthcare marketplace.

Based in New York City, the Chapter membership has grown to over 155 individuals and 11 organizations from as far north as Buffalo, New York, east to Connecticut and as far south as Annapolis, Maryland.
