Mississippi Hospital Governing Board Members

The Mississippi Hospital Association provides a newsletter Mississippi Trustee on a quarterly basis to current trustees of our member facilities as well as on-going education through web-based courses.  Additionally, a trustee educational break-out session is offered each year at the annual Leadership Conference. The member facility is charged a yearly fee of $105.00, which includes all current trustees of the facility.
