Healthcare in America and in Massachusetts is undergoing rapid, disruptive and persistent change which continues to be under the public microscope. It will take visionary leaders to transform our healthcare organizations and to deliver outstanding services in this dynamic environment. MHA’s Emerging Leaders series is tailored to hospital professionals who seek to elevate their management skills within this challenging environment. This year’s series will teach managers about the changing healthcare system and how to be nimble and thrive as effective leaders. The 3-part program is a blend of knowledge of the healthcare landscape, an in-depth look at healthcare finance (with particular focus payment reform) and a leadership development day which will help managers/directors better understand their competencies and how to leverage their skills to lead.

The opportunity for dynamic information exchange and development of a professional colleague network is an added bonus of this program. Class size is limited, Programs are spread out over three months and are held at MHA’s Conference Center in Burlington, MA from 9am-4pm. Register yourself or a member of your staff today!

“All three sessions were extremely valuable, particularly the Strategic Planning and the personal assessment. I have been able to effectively plan meetings for my department keeping in mind what tools to use and how to effectively involve my in the decision making process for workflow improvement.” - previous Emerging Leader attendee

We’ll also look at how innovation is working in healthcare and how class participants can adapt in their current role/position in their organization.
