Hospitals and health systems have not always embraced a role in meeting behavioral health needs in communities because managing behavioral healthcare and mental health is very complex. Receiving both behavioral health and primary care treatment in one integrated setting can help people thrive and participate in their communities. Also, it can be valuable for the organization.

The forum will feature healthcare leaders that will speak about healthcare leadership career development resources, opportunities e.g. administrative fellowships, executive development programs, key certifications etc., leadership skills, and actionable professional insights after which a robust Q & A portion will take place. Participants will also get to attend a job fair and networking session before the program begins.
Leadership and leading others is more of an art than science especially in healthcare. At times, the new healthcare executive may be in a leadership position for the first time or may have little direct experience compared to those who they are managing. Conversely, leading other generations other than one's own requires skills that can be honed. The panelists will present strategies for successfully navigating these leadership challenges and insight into how to avoid common management mistakes. Updated flyer is attached.

The communities for which healthcare organizations operate are rapidly diversifying. Not only do they provide care for a diverse community of patients and families, but their workforce is also changing, and at times does not reflect the patient community. The business implications and imperatives healthcare organizations face concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion are immense. It is incumbent on healthcare organizations and their leaders to both understand and embrace the needs of diverse populations. Leader’s abilities to respond to the needs and preferences of a broader customer base will be critical to their financial and operational success.

Preparing for an unplanned or unexpected event causes physical, psychological and emotional stresses that can overwhelm employees, medical staff, patients and communities. Healthcare leaders need to understand ways to prepare their organization for these circumstances (e.g. natural disaster, pandemic, civil disturbances, medical error or labor disputes). This panel discussion will provide insight and perspectives on ways to manage an unforeseen crisis within the healthcare organization and its community.
Healthcare organizations must ensure that their staff is educated on disparities to appropriately address the needs of ALL patients. The program will discuss the importance of equitable care in addressing the healthcare needs of patients from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds, persons with disability, persons in the LGBTQ+ community.
