MHA Celebrates 2026 Health Care Leadership Series Graduates
The Missouri Hospital Association is proud to announce the graduating class of the 23rd annual Health Care Leadership Series, a comprehensive educational program designed to help hospitals develop effective internal leaders.
This year, 47 leaders from 28 hospitals and health organizations completed the series, which included eight one-day training sessions held monthly from March through October. Through this program, attendees gain professional development education, practical tools to strengthen their skills, the chance to build a professional network and a template action plan for implementing change at their own organizations.
“The field of health care is constantly evolving, and hospitals need leaders who are prepared to change with it.,” said MHA President and CEO Jon D. Doolittle. “The commitment of these individuals to growing as leaders will make a difference for their hospitals and the communities they serve, and we are honored to support our member organizations that are investing in their leaders’ development.”
Doolittle presented plaques to the 2026 Health Care Leadership Series graduates Oct. 9.
