HMIAO announces name change to MHAAO (Master of Health Administration Alumni Organization)


Feb. 20, 2025


The HMIAO alumni organization is proud to announce its new name: Master of Health Administration Alumni Organization (MHAAO). This change is part of a strategic effort to better serve the alumni members and students from the Mizzou Master of Health Administration (MHA) program.

The decision to rebrand comes in the wake of the recent transition of the MHA Program from the School of Medicine to the College of Health Sciences. MHAAO aims to reflect this new alignment and strengthen the connection between the program’s alumni and its current MHA students.

The new name not only honors the legacy of the MHA program but also sets the stage for future growth and collaboration. We look forward to the continued success and engagement of our alumni as we navigate this exciting new chapter together.

Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to get involved with MHAAO. Together, we will continue to build a vibrant and impactful network that champions the excellence of the Mizzou MHA program. Learn more about the MHA Alumni Organization.
