About The Academy

We power our community to drive health forward.

Since 1998, The Academy has cultivated the premier community of influential changemakers in healthcare. Our members are aligned around a common goal of improving health for all, and a core belief that partnership will accelerate progress.

We power our members by building our community and fostering connections through executive peer learning. We support professional growth through talent and development. We accelerate understanding by delivering timely and actionable data and insights on key challenges. And we catalyze transformation by building alliances in areas where the power of the collective is greater than the power of one.

Our History

As hospitals consolidated into large health systems, rising executives asked for support navigating the new complexity of their businesses

In response, The Academy was established in 1998. We supported them with a Chief Medical Officer forum, and quickly expanded to more peer groups

The Academy opened its doors to innovative industry partners whose engagement was essential for driving meaningful progress

The Academy continued to expand its community, developing over 26 peer groups, 6 unique leadership development programs, an extensive research platform and 3 targeted alliances
