Benefits of Membership

When we ponder membership into any organization, it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of what the organization stands for and how this will relate to our values and interests.

Membership in the Healthcare Leaders Association of Northeast Florida has adopted many goals to assist in managing a productive medical practice. Our goals are to support the national HLA and local affiliated chapters. In doing this, HLA of Northeast Florida strives to be a primary resource on current issues with monthly luncheon meetings in which knowledgeable speakers come to share ideas and information.

HLA of Northeast Florida provides a local networking arena for small, mid-sized, and large medical practices. This networking capability can prove invaluable in the exchange of information as our communication with other managers’ increases. It has been said that “knowledge is power” and we believe that this is certainly true and feel our organization is attuned to ensure this knowledge is shared.

In summary, we would like to invite you to attend our monthly meetings and evaluate it to determine if this organization can assist you in successfully facing the challenges of today’s dynamic health care environment.
