MHA’s 103rd Annual Convention To Focus On 'People: The Point Of Care'

People The Point of Care Convention

From the patients and communities that hospitals serve to the employees who make care possible, the mission of health care is always people-focused. That’s why MHA’s 2025 Annual Convention is built around: People: The Point of Care.

Registration is open for MHA’s 103rd Annual Convention, scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 5, through Friday, Nov. 7, at the St. Charles Convention Center. MHA members can save $50 on registration fees until Thursday, Sept. 11, by taking advantage of the early-bird pricing.

This year’s convention will feature a dynamic lineup of speakers and sessions designed to educate and inspire. Hospital leaders and staff will learn how to build a stronger and more resilient workforce, address the challenges of behavioral health, improve care delivery and harness technologies that advance hospitals’ people-focused missions.
