Maryland hospitals are navigating one of the most complex periods in health care. Rising costs, workforce shortages, increasing administrative burden, and the transition to a new model for financing and delivering care are reshaping the environment in which hospitals serve their communities.
MHA remains focused on ensuring Maryland hospitals have the support they need to care for the people and communities that depend on them.
This 2026 Annual Report reflects a year of advocacy, strong member engagement, and meaningful results. Together, we advanced policy solutions, secured critical resources, and strengthened the position of hospitals across Maryland.
