About MHA
Health Career Center:
The MHA Health Careers Center was created by the Mississippi Hospital
Association in response to the shortages in nursing and allied health
careers. These shortages are threatening the delivery of timely and
quality healthcare in Mississippi and must be addressed. The Center
provides resources for individuals interested in health careers and to
hospitals for employee recruitment and retention.
The MHA Health Careers Center is focused on being the primary resource for
students, educators, job seekers and healthcare employers interested in
health care information and occupations in Mississippi. By forming
partnerships with educational institutions, healthcare employers and
healthcare professional organizations, we are working to ensure that the
medical needs of all Mississippians are cared for by a sufficient number
of well-trained professionals.
