About This Show
AI-drafted summaryMHA Connect is the annual member and business-partner gathering hosted by Managed Health Care Associates, Inc. (MHA), the largest alternate-site group purchasing organization in the United States. Formerly known as the MHA Business Summit, the event was reimagined as MHA Connect, a member experience built around the themes of Connect, Community, and Centered, with residents and patients kept at the center of the conversation.
The event brings together pharmacy and senior living members, business partners, and industry leaders for several days of networking, education, and forward-looking discussion. Attendees typically include professionals from long-term care, specialty, infusion and combo pharmacies, senior care living operators, home medical equipment providers, and the manufacturers and suppliers that serve the post-acute market.
Sessions and conversations focus on the issues shaping post-acute care today—market dynamics, advocacy, innovation, data analytics, and operational growth—with the goal of helping members stay resilient and adapt. For providers and suppliers across the alternate-site healthcare space, MHA Connect offers a concentrated opportunity to build relationships, share perspectives, and stay current on the trends influencing their businesses.

History
MHA Connect traces its roots to the MHA Business Summit. Managed Health Care Associates, Inc. (MHA) was founded in 1989 and quickly became a leading group purchasing organization for long-term care pharmacies. The first Annual MHA Business Summit took place in 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the following two decades the company evolved from a long-term care pharmacy GPO into a broad alternate-site healthcare services and software company, and its annual summit grew alongside it. The event was subsequently rebranded from the MHA Business Summit to MHA Connect, refreshing the format around the principles of Connect, Community, and Centered. Following MHA Connect 2026, the 2027 edition moves to Austin, Texas—described by the organizer as a new city and a new chapter for the event.
