Maryland's
premier organization for professionals working in health care strategy
and market development.
The result of a merger in 2000
between the Maryland Association for Healthcare Planning and Marketing
and the Maryland Society for Health Care Marketing and Public
Relations, the new society reflects a national trend as professionals
take on increasing roles as strategic thinkers for their organizations.
