Mission Statement
The Washington Metropolitan Healthcare Recruiter's Association (WMHRA) mission is providing leadership, support, education and professional development to its members and the community we serve, while maintaining high values and ethics in the recruitment professionals.

Welcome Letter
WMHRA began in 1975 when a group of nurse recruiters met to offer mutual support and exchange ideas. In 1982, they incorporated as the Washington Metropolitan Nurse Recruiter's Association. 1995 saw the name change to Washington Metropolitan Healthcare Recruiter's Association to reflect changing members needs and the healthcare industry.

Since its inception, WMHRA has recognized that its strength derives from the members and their activities. For the past 19 years, members have created a brochure for and hosted a Careers Fair spotlighting Washington Metro participating hospitals. The fairs offer excellent recruitment opportunities for all members and generate revenue for the Association. These highly successful career fairs create an opportunity for members to network, and to share information and ideas related to healthcare recruitment issues.

We welcome new WMHRA members and invite them to contact fellow Association members on all topics related to recruitment. Our membership is enriched by your presence as we look forward to a mutually productive future in pursuit of our Association’s goals throughout this new century.
