Dear Colleague:

 

The Illinois Society for Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations (ISHMPR) would like to extend an invitation to join the leading state association dedicated to the education and advancement of professionals like you.

And, now it’s never been easier to join! Membership is based by organization rather than by individual. This means that your hospital or healthcare facility is the member*. Up to seven people per organization can now take part in the following ISHMPR programs and services.

  • Learning Opportunities Two educational conferences each year featuring hot topics hosted by industry leaders.
  • Networking ISHMPR is creating a new “list serve” for colleagues who would like to “talk shop” in a non-competitive, non-threatening way. If you’re interested, add your name and contact info to this group of colleagues to volunteer your time and expertise.
  • Pinnacle Awards ISHMPR’s annual healthcare awards competition gets better and better. Enter your best work into a new and revitalized competition that features a streamlined entry process that will be easier and less time consuming to prepare.
  • Members Only ISHMPR’s Web site features a “members only” section that will house list serve volunteers, job opportunities and more.

With complex and challenging issues that are unique to the healthcare industry, its helpful to have an organization of like-minded peers to turn to when resources are scarce and results matter. ISHMPR is an affordable and easy way to connect with some of the state’s leading industry professionals. Join today by visiting our contact form.

Sincerely,

Mary Zokan                                    Tracy Simons

*Please note that healthcare systems must join as individual facilities. For example, Acme Health System has five hospitals and three long-term care facilities. Each organization (with up to seven staff members) must join separately.
