IHLA HISTORY:

The organizers of the Association had a vision when they came together in 1972 to charter their group. The development of a dynamic, dedicated group of practice managers who would help each other grow and prosper. A group who would promote the successful management of medical practices throughout the state, and who would come together for positive experiences and networking. This vision quickly became reality.
