Just about halfway through this year, your MHA launched a brand new online platform at www.mhaonline.org to be hospitals' home base for information and materials on advocacy, our progress under the new waiver, and much, much more. The revamped mhaonline.org is mobile-friendly, user-intuitive and content-driven, and as we look back at the past six months of its existence, we are proud that so many of you have taken us up on our offer to be a part of it.

 

We've heard from many hospital leaders that you and your teams have found the new site helpful in accessing data, presentations, clinical tools and other types of information. To date, some 350 individuals have created website accounts to access information available to MHA members only (any employee of an MHA member or corporate affiliate member is eligible for this access).

 

And, on average, those users are spending more time and visiting more pages on MHA's website than their colleagues in other states when we compare our statistics to national trade association benchmarks. This is a sure sign that the site is serving its purpose of serving you.

 

That said, we're always looking to make things better and the new online platform is highly customizable. If you have ideas about how we can improve the site's organization, functionality or some other aspect, please let us know. This is your home base for all things related to hospitals in Maryland, and we welcome your feedback. And we urge those of you who have not created your own account to feel free to do so (click here to get started). The site is here for you!
