MHA is excited to start the new year with a new President & CEO, Melony G. Griffith, at the helm. In just her first couple of weeks with the Association, Melony is already getting to know you, learn more about your priorities, and establish solid footing for MHA and the hospital field heading into the legislative session and the work to figure out the future of Maryland’s Total Cost of Care Model.

This holiday season, many of us will have an opportunity to slow down, spend time with family, recharge—and reflect on the year that has passed and the one that is just around the corner. At MHA, we find ourselves looking forward to 2024, energized and motivated by the promise of even greater collaboration with all of you.

As the holiday season gets underway this week, your MHA team extends heartfelt gratitude for your outstanding efforts throughout the year. In the face of new challenges, your resilience, compassion, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of others have truly set you apart. We stand beside you, offering our support and celebrating the successes that you have achieved.

With less than two months until the start of the 2024 legislative session of the Maryland General Assembly, MHA is working to advance the field’s legislative agenda. Just as important will be legislation we will defend against hospital detractors, including a variety of anticipated bills that would harm health and health care in our state. MHA is working with your own GA leaders to champion your interests throughout the 90-day session.
