Membership Benefits

Membership in the MHA means excellence in service, advocacy and information. The MHA is a trusted voice in healthcare policy and advocacy; patient safety and quality; data and best information; and education and networking. The MHA works to equip its members with the tools and information they need to be successful every day, whether they’re caring for patients or providing hospitals with administrative resources.
