The annual meeting will feature an outstanding lineup of healthcare experts, including Brian Castrucci, DrPH, MA, president and CEO of the deBeaumont Foundation and author of “Talking Health.” Castrucci will speak on defining public health, reframing public health assumptions and bringing data to life through storytelling.

Opportunities for sponsorship are available through May 5, including the opportunity to sponsor a hole at the Links Fore Health golf outing fundraiser. This event supports community benefit programs and services Michigan hospitals provide at low or no cost to improve the health and wellness of communities. Events like the ice cream social and the chairman’s and awards reception provide attendees ample time to network and renew relationships.

Register by May 26 to attend this memorable event. Members with questions should email the MHA or call (517) 323-3443.

Deadline Approaching for Early Sponsorship Commitment

The deadline to be featured as a sponsor of the MHA Annual Membership Meeting brochure, which is shared with hospital and health system CEOs, is March 17. The MHA’s sponsors are vital to helping conference participants emerge with innovative ideas and solutions to achieve hospital and health system goals. In turn, sponsors gain new customers, discover fresh leads and develop deeper relationships.

A variety of sponsorship opportunities are outlined in the 2023 MHA Corporate Sponsorship & Advertising brochure. Organizations that secure sponsorship will be featured in the MHA Annual Membership Meeting event brochure, mailed out in early April.

Members with questions about sponsorship or the Annual Membership Meeting should contact Erica Leyko at the MHA.
