HBAdvantage Newsletter

The goal of the HBAdvantage is to impart information to its readership that fuels the advancement of women in the healthcare industry. Designed to keep the membership abreast of key issues that affect the association, the editorial content includes reports on national HBA events (such as WOTY and the annual Leadership Conference), updates on research undertaken by the association (such as E.D.G.E.), skills for success pointers from professionals in diverse positions, and perspective on the association’s direction from the HBA President and CEO.

The HBAdvantage, The Magazine of the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association, is a quarterly publication with a fifth issue dedicated to the annual Leadership Conference.
