What Is This Show All About?

MHA...An Association of Montana Health Care Providers, is a leadership organization and a principal advocate for health care facilities in Montana.  MHA serves a diverse membership that provides the full spectrum of health care services.

Every year MHA holds an education and vendor fair in the spring for our members.  Exhibitors for this show are vendors that supply the attendees with the products and services they need to provide care and service to their patients and clients.

Our attendees spend so much time taking care of their patients they rarely take the time to take care of themselves. So this year MHA has decided to add a new element to the Spring Conference & Trade Fair.  Along with the traditional Trade Show we will be hosting a Craft Fair where attendees can find products and goods that benefit their families, friends, and better yet themselves!  That’s where you come in!  We are looking for vendors specifically from Montana that would like to share their talents with our members.  The Craft Fair will be open beginning during lunch on Thursday, vendors will be able to sell their products or take orders from attendees.

Who Are the Attendees?

Conference attendees include CEO’s and administrators from hospitals and nursing homes from around the state, as well as mid-level managers, nurses, dietary and activity managers, and many others from healthcare facilities.
