New MDHA Website Coming Soon

 

MDHA is transitioning to a new website that will continue to use the mdhatoday.org domain.

The new site will include dedicated pages for each component to share information, upcoming events, and continuing education opportunities.

The Board of Trustees voted to discontinue the previous website service through Encounter Solutions. The new website will be managed by MDHA Communication Council Chair Amanda Mishler.

 

Watch for the new MDHA website coming soon!
