NEWS AND EVENTS

The American Hospital Association and its Institute for Diversity in Health Management and Center for Healthcare Governance are committed to increasing the racial and ethnic diversity of hospital boards.

That's why we have developed a program to help interested individuals learn more about board service, while at the same time helping hospitals increase board diversity. A complimentary, one-day workshop explores the basic principles by which a hospital board operates, including the trustee's role and responsibilities and the board's role in setting strategy and determining policy, as well as the unique challenges faced by health care governing boards.

After the workshop, participants' names and resumes are entered in an online database that hospital leaders can search to identify potential board candidates. Local hospital association leaders then work with hospitals and health systems in the area to facilitate placement.

The program debuted in Chicago in late 2008 and already has resulted in several placements among local and national hospital/ health care-related boards.
