Hospitals in pursuit of excellence

Society for Healthcare Strategy & Market Development

SHSMD is the premier organization for 4,000 health care professionals responsible for strategy development and implementation in a wide array of health care organizations.

As a reflection of the changing health care environment and the intensifying pressures on health care strategy professionals, and in response to comprehensive research on our members' needs, SHSMD is proud to unveil a new brand promise.

SHSMD's brand promise reflects a renewed commitment to our members, along with newly developed resources that will empower our members to perform at a higher level. By launching new resources—such as special interest group communities, back-to-basics workshops, and expanded benchmarking and best-practice studies—while retaining the best of current resources, SHSMD intends to demonstrate a heightened sense of responsiveness to members’ need for just-in-time resources.

The organization provides:

SHSMD-U;

An annual conference; and

Other resources and opportunities for connecting.
