Mission & Vision
MHA ... An Association of Montana Health Care Providers is the
principal advocate for the interests of members in their efforts
to improve the health status of the communities they serve.
MHA ... An Association of Montana Health Care Providers will be the best state health care provider association in the nation.
MHA is an association whose members provide the full spectrum of
health care services, including hospital inpatient and outpatient,
long-term care, home health, hospice, physician, assisted living,
senior housing and insurance services.
Every acute care hospital in the state is a member, ranging from
the smallest Critical Access Hospitals that provide primary care
services in Montana's rural communities to the largest tertiary
care hospitals in the state.
Regardless of size, these facilities are community-based, locally
governed and share a commitment to improving the health status of
their communities. MHA members offer communities an integrated and
coordinated continuum of high quality, affordable and innovative
health care, housing, and community-based services.
Virtually every hospital also provides long-term care. In fact,
for some facilities, their long-term care services are more important
than their acute care operations. In addition, community-based free-standing
nursing homes increasingly are finding MHA membership attractive.
Most member organizations also provide home health or hospice services.
Many provide physician services and managed clinics.
MHA offers a variety of services, including advocacy of members'
interests with governmental agencies, data products, education programs
and communications. A special section of the association focuses
solely on the interests and needs of extended care providers.
In addition to these core services, which are supported by annual
membership dues, MHA members can take advantage of special programs
provided through MHA Ventures, Inc., the association's for-profit
arm. These service contracts offer substantial savings to member
facilities.
