Healthcare Leaders Association of Arizona

What Healthcare Leaders Association of Arizona does

The Healthcare Leaders Association of Arizona (HLA AZ) is a nonprofit professional membership association serving healthcare supervisors, managers, administrators, and students throughout Arizona. The organization provides educational programs, mentoring, advocacy resources, and networking opportunities for practice management professionals in primary care and specialty groups, positioning itself as a centralized resource for the Arizona healthcare administration community.

HLA AZ operates a community-led model with three revenue streams: annual membership dues from active and affiliate (vendor) members, event registration fees (with non-members paying $35 per webinar), and tiered corporate sponsorships at Royal and Diamond levels. Membership and event operations are administered through Wild Apricot membership software, which supports self-serve enrollment, member management, communications, and event registration via the hlaaz.org website. Programming includes monthly webinars and signature conferences, most notably the 2026 Hertel Report Summer State of the State.

The association's geographic footprint spans Arizona's principal healthcare markets—Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff—with events occasionally extending to rural and northern Arizona venues such as the Summit Healthcare Conference Center in Show Low. Corporate sponsors include EmpowerHCP, MedCycle Solutions, Gile CRE, and MICA Insurance, providing access for healthcare vendors to medical practice decision-makers. Member growth is incentivized through a referral program offering 50% off dues for active member referrals and $100 conference booth credits for affiliate member referrals.

Regional players

• MGMA Florida (and other state MGMA chapters): Florida's state-level MGMA affiliate chapter. Comparable operating model and member proposition to HLA AZ (state-level practice-manager membership association), but in a different state geography.
• Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association (AzHHA): Arizona's statewide hospital and healthcare association. Regional peer that competes for some Arizona healthcare leaders and access to Arizona healthcare advocacy and events.
• Arizona Medical Association (ArMA): Arizona's statewide physician professional association. Regional peer that shares the Arizona healthcare-leader audience and partners/competes for advocacy and event mindshare in-state.

Direct peers

• MGMA (Medical Group Management Association): National professional association for medical practice managers and administrators. Most direct competitor — serves the exact same healthcare administrator persona but at national scale with broader resources, certifications, and advocacy.
• AAHAM (American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management): National professional association for healthcare administrative and revenue-cycle professionals. Directly comparable membership-model association serving similar healthcare management roles.
• HBMA (Healthcare Business Management Association): National association for healthcare revenue cycle management companies and professionals. Comparable in serving practice managers/administrators with education, networking, and advocacy focus.

Broad incumbents

• HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society): Large global healthcare-IT/informatics membership organization. Broad incumbent in healthcare leadership membership with a digital-health/IT orientation.
• ACHE (American College of Healthcare Executives): Large national professional society for healthcare executives. Broad incumbent in the healthcare-leadership membership space; serves a more senior executive persona than HLA AZ.
• HFMA (Healthcare Financial Management Association): National membership organization for healthcare finance professionals. Broad incumbent that overlaps with HLA AZ's financial-administration member base but focuses more narrowly on finance.

Emerging players

• NAHSE (National Association of Health Services Executives): National membership association for healthcare executives and administrators, with emphasis on diversity and inclusion in healthcare leadership. Comparable mission overlap but distinct focus areas.
