The Fund for Healthcare Leadership


History

The Fund was established in 2006 to bring innovation to the forefront of healthcare leadership. Since then, the Fund has worked to strengthen the field of healthcare leadership through educational programs and scholarships. From 2007–2016, donations to the Fund were used to establish educational programs that promoted or built awareness around key areas of focus.

Today

The Fund for Healthcare Leadership continues to provide scholarships to robust programs that inspire tomorrow's leaders. Scholarships are designed for those whose organizations may lack the resources to fully fund their tuition. The Executive Program invite healthcare leaders to learn, share and grow together during three intensive sessions. The programs provide practical leadership strategies through the use of case studies, personal assessments, panel discussions and site visits on operational excellence. The format is designed to accelerate this high-level executive learning experience. To find out more or to apply to Executive Program, please click here.

Impact on Executive Program Scholarship Recipients:

“The Executive Program stands out because it not only provides cutting-edge knowledge but also cultivates a supportive community of leaders. During our collaborative sessions, executives from diverse backgrounds shared innovative solutions for common healthcare challenges. This experience underscored the power of collective wisdom and reinforced my belief in the importance of diverse perspectives in leadership. I participated in the Executive Program in 2024, and I would not have experienced these things had it not been for the scholarship program.”

“The Fund for Healthcare Leadership is an amazing part of ACHE, which I'm very proud to talk about. It allows emerging and seasoned leaders the opportunity to get involved in the Executive Program, which is designed to help leaders meet present and future challenges. I was very fortunate that the Fund awarded me a scholarship, and that gave me an incredible experience going through the Executive Program. The Fund is one way that many leaders, institutions and organizations can truly leave a lasting legacy for our nation's healthcare.”

“I was very fortunate to have been awarded a scholarship for the ACHE Executive Program. It wasn’t just financial funding. It really was an investment in my leadership and my ability to give back to the healthcare community. For the Fund for Healthcare Leadership, I really thank the donors, not just for their financial commitment to healthcare leadership and to the future state of healthcare, but really for the connections, the tactical skills and the humility we develop as leaders through programs like this.”
