Inside Connection

2008 Issues

2007 Issues

A Networking Tool from the Missouri Hospital Association

Inside Connection, a quarterly newsletter from MHA, examines the latest trends in the health care community and highlights hospitals’ innovative activities and best practices. Inside Connection allows colleagues in Missouri hospitals to share a wealth of information with their peers in hospitals across the state.

Regular features in every issue of Inside Connection include "Around the Districts," which spotlights events, medical breakthroughs and services in Missouri hospitals, and "Frequently Asked Legal Questions," a legal column that addresses common questions from health care providers.

The goal of Inside Connection is to serve as source of valuable information on Missouri’s hospitals. To accomplish this, we welcome your comments and suggestions. Please submit your story ideas, press releases and photos today!
