The MAHF was founded in 1996 to:

• Honor the men and women who have made significant contributions to the medical advertising profession.
• Document the history of the industry.
• Attract next-generation talent to the medical advertising profession.

Our membership is open to healthcare advertising agencies and publications, and currently consists of the leaders of nearly 40 agencies and publishing companies.

Past & Future of the MAHF

The medical advertising profession-thus, our organization-has a rich history, filled with colorful individuals who did groundbreaking work for lifesaving pharmaceuticals. But this industry is not one to be overly nostalgic-as therapies progress, so too does medical advertising.
