While our name is new as of January 1st, 2024, the Healthcare Leaders Association of Minnesota (HLAMN) was founded in 1951 and is one of the largest state associations in the United States. HLAMN represents hundreds of members statewide. HLAMN is able to offer its membership advocacy, education, information, and representation. HLAMN has a primary mission, which includes enabling medical practice executives and their organizations to recognize and improve the health status of the community of patients they serve. This is accomplished by promoting and delivering the physician/administrative team approach to healthcare and medical group management. HLAMN also focuses on enhancing a member's professional role, knowledge and skills. HLAMN serves its membership by advocating with the legislative and regulatory bodies to advance the concept of group practice with the health delivery system as well as building and providing a repository of data, process and organization design tools. HLAMN annual conferences attract hundreds of members, and business partners, and exhibition allows attendees to compare services and products that may help in the efficiency and effectiveness of their practice operations. The two annual conferences also give opportunity and exposure to continuing education, and networking with peers.
