How MHA Ventures Selects and Endorses Trusted Partners

MHA Ventures follows a strategic, member-driven process to identify and endorse business partners that deliver meaningful value to Montana’s healthcare providers. Each step is designed to ensure that endorsed solutions are relevant, cost-effective, and high-quality.

1. Identify Member Needs

We actively consult with hospital CEOs, MHA executives, advisory groups, and frontline staff to uncover pressing challenges and emerging needs across Montana’s healthcare landscape.

Benefit: Every solution is aligned with real-world priorities and member goals.

2. Conduct In-Depth Research

We establish clear evaluation criteria and seek referrals from member hospitals. Request for Information (RFI) applications are then routed to qualified candidates.

Benefit: Filters out unqualified vendors early and focuses on those with proven relevance and potential.

3. Evaluate Candidates Thoroughly

Each candidate undergoes a comprehensive review, including proposal analysis, product demonstrations, financial health checks, marketing strategy assessments, and customer references.

Benefit: Guarantees that only stable, reputable, and effective partners are considered.

4. Award Endorsement

Vendors that meet our rigorous standards receive the MHA Ventures endorsement—signifying trust, quality, and alignment with Montana’s healthcare mission.

Benefit: Members can confidently engage with endorsed vendors, knowing they’ve been fully vetted and approved.
