The MHA is now accepting applications for the Excellence in Governance Fellowship, which will be held from October 2026 through June 2027. The fellowship is a comprehensive program designed to support hospital and health system trustees in strengthening governance practices and advancing organizational leadership.
Launched more than 20 years ago, the fellowship provides education in key areas including effective governance, quality and patient safety, medical staff partnerships and community engagement. Fellows participate in a combination of in-person and virtual sessions led by healthcare governance experts from October through June.
Current fellows in the 2025-26 class met during the week of March 16 to further their understanding of healthcare and the role of governance in supporting leadership teams. During the session, healthcare experts and leaders from MHA member hospitals and health systems shared strategies on healthcare access, community benefit, affordability, value-based care, patient experience and workforce recruitment and retention.
