Welcome to MHA’s Consumer Guide

This guide is designed to help you make informed decisions concerning health care for yourself or a loved one. There are many resources available and our goal is to compile reliable and proven sources. Health care is a confusing and difficult subject to cover, and MHA will continue to strive to make this topic easy to understand.

We believe that individuals are the primary advocates for their health care needs, and have gathered information here to help make your interactions with health care providers and the delivery of care a more pleasant and enjoyable experience.

This guide is broken into 2 primary sections:

Hospital Care

Nursing Home Care

A glossary of terms is available through this guide along with many other helpful publications and related sites.
