• Publications include the ISHA E-Newsletter, published quarterly, which provides industry news, information on ISHA programs, and educational articles.
• Information on your facility or business is listed in the Member Directory portion of our website and includes a live link to your home page. The general public can find information on more than 120 facilities in one convenient location. Featured ISHA members rotate regularly on various pages of the site. A Member’s Only section publishes proprietary information for members and a variety of forms and documents that can be utilized in your institution.

Additionally, you can join colleagues on a toll-free Hot Topic conference call to discuss issues and topics relevant to running a successful institution.
