Diversity makes us more capable leaders.
As the United States and the larger international community engage in thought provoking conversations about concepts of diversity, equality and acceptance, we, the Central Florida Chapter of ACHE, stand in support of inclusiveness for all.
As the United States and the larger international community engage in thought provoking conversations about concepts of diversity, equality and acceptance, we, the Central Florida Chapter of ACHE, stand in support of inclusiveness for all. From specialized member forums to career resources, executive programs and policy statements, our national ACHE makes supporting diversity and inclusion integral to its mission and daily work. Our chapter continues to recognize and foster diversity in membership and programming in addition to health equity for Blacks, members of the LGBTQ community, women, minorities and disabled healthcare leaders. We stand with our fellow ACHE chapters and national ACHE in seeking to close leadership gaps in healthcare management and encourage diverse participation.
We strive to continue to promote diversity in membership and programming annually. Last year, we partnered with NAHSE (National Association of Health Services Executives) for a seminar on telehealth and hosted our Annual Women in Healthcare Leadership conference. This year, we have exciting virtual programming planned that facilitates discussions addressing social disparities in addition to healthcare leadership for minorities and women. Below are a variety of Diversity and Inclusion Resources offered by ACHE.
