Leading the Way to a Healthier Michigan
Health system and hospital trustees play a unique role in supporting the health of the communities they serve and upholding high standards for the state’s healthcare facilities. By supporting these leaders, the MHA is supporting its members as they drive innovation to improve healthcare quality and lower costs.
The MHA offers programs and resources intended to support new and currently serving healthcare trustees and other executives as they lead the way to a healthier Michigan.
Speaking Health Care™
The MHA, other state hospital associations and governWell™ collaborated to create Speaking Health Care™, a guide designed to help hospital and health system trustees better understand the complex and often confusing language used in healthcare. The glossary includes over 1,000 words with acronyms that are often used in briefings, documents and discussions in the boardroom.
Governance chair positions demand individuals with extraordinary leadership qualities, a desire to be a catalyst for change and a continual commitment to governance responsibilities.
The MHA Governance Affinity Group is designed to teach board chairs, chairs-elect, vice chairs and committee chairs to improve expertise and judgment, captivate and motivate board members and be a reflective listener.

To assist hospitals and health systems in ensuring their trustees are active, engaged and informed, the MHA designed a comprehensive governance leadership fellowship.
