Michigan Health & Hospital Association

What Michigan Health & Hospital Association does

The Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(6) membership trade association representing all 125 community hospitals in Michigan, along with 35 Critical Access Hospitals, at both state and federal levels. Headquartered in Okemos with a Capitol Advocacy Center in Lansing, MHA is governed by a Board of Trustees drawn from hospital and health system leaders and operates wholly-owned subsidiaries including the MHA Keystone Center (a Federally-listed Patient Safety Organization), the MHA Center of Rural Excellence, MHA Service Corporation (supply chain), MHA Health Foundation, and Health PAC. Revenue is generated through hospital membership dues, fees from endorsed business partners, grant funding (e.g., Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's $1M Keystone contribution, Michigan Health Endowment Fund grants), and operating income from business services including a supply chain program leveraging $83B in purchasing power and an Unemployment Compensation Program serving 900+ employers across 49 states.

MHA's core technology stack centers on member-collaboration and quality-improvement platforms: KeyMetrics (web-based data collection and reporting with interactive dashboards), a PSO Data Platform for adverse event submission using AHRQ Common Formats, the MHA Community secure networking site, and the Community Benefits Tracker. Distribution is primarily direct to members via advocacy representation, member portals, and field engagement, with marketing through newsletters (MHA Monday Report), podcasts (MiCare Champion Cast), events (Annual Membership Meeting, Keystone Symposium, Healthcare Leadership Academy), and a Legislative Action Center. Recent strategic emphasis has been on rural health (via the new Center of Rural Excellence and administration of Michigan's $173M Rural Health Transformation Program award), workforce well-being (WELL-B with Duke Health, 5,000+ participants from 144 organizations), maternal health (MI AIM across 48 hospitals, OBI), and behavioral health and chronic disease collaboratives, alongside an early-stage Artificial Intelligence Taskforce publishing an MHA AI Framework for member guidance.

Core offering

Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA) is a nonprofit membership trade association that represents all community hospitals in Michigan at state and federal levels. It delivers legislative advocacy, patient safety and quality improvement programs through the MHA Keystone Center (a federally-listed Patient Safety Organization), rural health support via the MHA Center of Rural Excellence, and a portfolio of business services including supply chain programs, unemployment compensation management, print services, and an Endorsed Business Partner Program.

Product overview

The Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA) is a healthcare association offering a portfolio of programs, services, and platforms rather than a unified software product. Core offerings include the MHA Keystone Center (a federally-listed Patient Safety Organization providing patient safety and quality improvement initiatives), the MHA Center of Rural Excellence (advocacy and support for rural hospitals including the $173M Rural Health Transformation Program), and various business services including supply chain programs, unemployment compensation management, and print services. Data platforms include KeyMetrics for quality improvement reporting, the PSO Data Platform for adverse event submission, the MHA Community site for member collaboration, and the Community Benefits Tracker for reporting. The association also provides advocacy tools (Legislative Action Center, Health PAC), publications (MHA Monday Report newsletter, MiCare Champion Cast podcast), education programs (Healthcare Leadership Academy, Excellence in Governance Fellowship), and an Endorsed Business Partner Program connecting members with vetted solutions in behavioral health, finance, technology, and workforce areas. These offerings function as standalone programs and services coordinated through the MHA member portal rather than as a unified platform with integrated modules.
