Missouri Health Care Association (MHCA)

The Missouri Health Care Association is Missouri's largest association of licensed, long-term health care facilities, residential care facilities and assisted living facilities. The Missouri Health Care Association is dedicated to improving quality of life for the residents of long-term care.

With 300+ facility members, MHCA represents over sixty-five percent of Missouri's licensed skilled nursing care facilities along with many residential care and assisted living facilities. There are also over 150 health care related businesses and organizations that are business partner members of MHCA; they contribute greatly to the success of this association.

Healthcare professionals have associated themselves because collective action is more effective, efficient and productive than individual efforts. These collective efforts are directed toward delivering excellence in the healthcare profession and improving the quality and dignity of life of their residents.

The Missouri Health Care Association maintains a professional full-time staff in Jefferson City, Missouri, who coordinate and carry out the policies of the governing body. MHCA is a non-profit trade association supported by membership dues, educational program fees, sponsorships and other services.
