LIMBA Presents “Hospitals, Health, and Industry — Partners in Achieving a Healthier Long Island”

Ms. Logan is Vice President of Communications and Population Health for the Suburban Hospital Alliance of New York State and its two regional entities — the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council (NSHC) on Long Island and the Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association (NorMet) in the Hudson Valley. She oversees and coordinates marketing and communications initiatives for these three associations, ensuring that the appropriate messages about hospitals and healthcare policy are delivered and understood by such targeted audiences and the media, lawmakers, business and industry, government agencies, allied health associations and the public.

The LIHC is a coalition of over 300 organizations, health plans, academic institutions, schools, libraries, physician associations, and several businesses. She is also an adjunct professor of Community Health at the State University of New York at Farmingdale.

She holds a Master’s degree in Health Communications from Boston University and a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from St. John’s University. Her public relations and marketing work has been recognized by regional and national peer organizations, especially for her efforts in the areas of outreach and awareness. In 2012, she was awarded the Outstanding Association Achievement Award for excellence in healthcare communication from the Association of Association Educators (A2E), a subgroup of the American Hospital Association. She has earned several regional awards for her health promotion campaigns and communications initiatives.

Ms. Logan frequently lectures and writes about health policy, legislation and regulation, population health, public health and how the power of the narrative distills these complex and abstract concepts into the understandable. Accredited by the Public Relations Society of America in the practice of public relations, she serves on a variety of state, regional and local task forces.
