Triple-Action Membership
When you join ADHA you are getting three levels of connection at the national, state and local levels.
National
ADHA is advocating for the profession at the highest levels to make sure our interests are represented in legislation and public policy.
State (Constituent)
State chapters connect you with education, advocacy and licensure details to keep you current and compliant.
Local (Component)
ADHA in your community supports you with networking and local events that make a difference for patients and the practice right where you live.
When you join ADHA, you may receive three levels of benefits at the national, state and local levels.
Based on where you live and practice, the cost of your state and local dues and benefits may vary.
Membership covers 12 months, from the month you join through the same month the following year. This convenient dues calculator estimates your annual professional dues based on your ZIP code and membership category.
