MHA Provides Essential Support And Resources For New Hospital CEOs
The Missouri Hospital Association is a trusted partner to the state’s hospitals, equipping health care leaders and teams with the knowledge and tools to advance high-quality care. With this goal in mind, each year, MHA convenes new hospital CEOs to introduce them to the breadth of resources and subject matter expertise available through MHA membership.
This two-day event for new CEOs of MHA-member hospitals provides valuable networking opportunities and covers a variety of topics, including the following.
- shaping a hospital environment to fulfill your current and future missions
- supporting your hospital’s success through public policy and advocacy
- engaging with your state legislators, including an in-person visit to the Missouri Capitol
- discussing challenges, leadership development and public engagement
- advancing quality, safety, research and value-based care
- describing data and analytics available through the Hospital Industry Data Institute for better decision-making
- engaging members and workforce development
- creating new revenue streams and value-added services for member hospitals
“Our member hospital CEOs have told us it is important for them to understand how state government operates and how MHA works with elected officials and various state agencies on their behalf,” said MHA President and CEO Jon D. Doolittle. “We also want to help them network and grow their awareness of the expertise and various solutions we have to offer.”
Here’s what some of last year’s attendees said about MHA’s new CEO orientation.
"It is easy to stay in your silo. By meeting my peers, I see we have so many commonalities."
"This (new CEO orientation) has renewed my ‘why’ for working in health care. It is good to know I am not alone."
MHA will host an upcoming orientation for new CEOs of member hospitals Feb. 17-18.
In addition to the new CEO orientation, MHA staff offer in-depth, on-site engagements for hospital leadership teams and can visit member hospitals, upon request.
MHA is privileged to be part of its member hospitals’ teams and advocate for a health care environment in which hospitals can thrive. Learn more about the value of MHA membership.
