Just as the world of healthcare is evolving rapidly, so too is the nature of communications. MHA’s Communications Summit is your opportunity to join hospital and health system communications leaders as they address shared challenges, explore the latest trends, and set new priorities. Together, we’ll explore ways to tell the healthcare story and raise the profile of the commonwealth’s most critical sector. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the conversation and connect with peers from across the state!
