Michigan Health & Hospital Association
The Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA) is the statewide leader representing all community hospitals in Michigan. Established in 1919, the MHA represents the interests of its member hospitals and health systems in both the legislative and regulatory arenas on key issues and supports their efforts to provide quality, cost-effective and accessible care.
Our Mission
We advance the health of individuals and communities.
Our Vision
Through our leadership and support of hospitals, health systems and the full care continuum, we are committed to achieving better care for individuals, better health for populations and lower per-capita costs.
Educating and Advocating for Better Health
The MHA works with its member hospitals and health systems to inform decision-makers about the impact of hospitals on local health and healthcare delivery, and on creating thriving communities. In Lansing and Washington, DC, the MHA is the leading voice in health and healthcare. Below are the current areas of our advocacy efforts. To explore more issues, please use the navigation.
Learn, Connect and Grow with the MHA
The MHA offers education and events to help healthcare administrators, clinicians and trustees stay abreast of the continual evolution of healthcare. Conferences, seminars, workshops and webinars are available throughout the year to help healthcare professionals and administrative staff efficiently care for patients and carry out their community missions.
Get Back to the Business of Improving Health
Hospitals are at the heart of their communities, serving families, friends and neighbors. They prioritize the well-being of their patients while juggling the complexities of the ever-evolving healthcare landscape. That is why the MHA has developed programs to bring cutting-edge and cost-effective solutions to member hospitals. These include services offered in-house and outsourced solutions.
As the statewide leader representing all hospitals in Michigan, the MHA helps members connect with cutting-edge services as they improve efficiency, quality of care and apply new strategies. Although rooted in Michigan, the MHA helps organizations nationwide on efforts such as unemployment compensation, data services, financial services and talent/career search.
Development and Growth for Healthcare Professionals
The MHA provides a variety of programs and venues for healthcare professionals to advance their skills, and network with and learn from their peers. Every year, the MHA brings together health system, hospital and other healthcare professionals and trustees with interests in governance, human resources, healthcare environmental issues, communications, patient safety and quality and more.

Health system and hospital trustees play a unique role in supporting the health of the communities they serve and upholding high standards for our state’s healthcare facilities.
