A call for member engagement

The Health Sector Hobby Exercises are named after Overta Culp Hobby – the
first Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare in the United States. In
keeping with her pioneering excellence in healthcare, the H-ISAC will plan and execute a series of cybersecurity related exercises. The exercises are intended
to engage a cross-section of top-level public and private sector leaders.
