Health Care Leadership Series Graduates 2025

The Missouri Hospital Association is proud to announce the graduating class of the 22nd Annual Health Care Leadership Series, a comprehensive leadership training curriculum designed to assist hospitals in developing effective internal leaders.

In 2025, a total of 44 leaders from 19 hospitals and health organizations completed the series.

“In health care, standing still means falling behind. Professional development ensures leaders evolve as fast as the system demands,” said Daphney Partridge, MHA's vice president of education. “The Health Care Leadership Series gives future leaders the tools they need to help their hospitals successfully navigate the significant challenges they face.”
