Don’t
miss your chance to participate in the 2018 Summer Health Care Internship
Program
Deadline to apply is Friday, April 13
Employer applications are still being accepted for the 2018 Summer Health Care
Internship Program (SHCIP). Hospitals, clinics, nursing facilities, home care
providers and adult day services facilities are encouraged to participate on
behalf of qualified students in their community.
The internship program benefits students by allowing them to explore health
care careers and gain experience in a health care setting. The initiative is
also a great opportunity for health care employers to become more involved in
their communities.
Up to half of an intern’s wages are reimbursed through a grant from the
Minnesota Department of Health’s Office of Rural Health and Primary Care. The
grant is administered by MHA. The employer application form is available on the
MHA website. The application deadline is Friday, April 13, at 5 p.m.
For more information, visit www.mnhospitals.org/shcip or contact Sarah Bohnet, Summer Health Care Internship

MHA
again planning member events for AHA Annual Meeting
Registration is still open for the American
Hospital Association (AHA) Annual Meeting, taking place May 6-9 in Washington,
D.C. The AHA Annual Meeting includes an extensive list of national speakers
with topics ranging from national politics to trends in hospital leadership.
The event also provides an excellent chance to network with MHA colleagues and
health care professionals from around the country.
MHA will be hosting a delegation of MHA members at the meeting. MHA activities
include group dinners on Monday and Tuesday evening and policy meetings with
members of the Minnesota Congressional delegation.
To learn more and register, visit the AHA website. Once you have registered, inform Ben Peltier,
vice president, legal and federal affairs, MHA, 651-603-3513, so he can add you
to the MHA delegation list. Questions about the AHA Annual Meeting may also be
directed to Ben. return to top
