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 progressive industry partners whose presence was essential for meaningfully driving care delivery innovation

The Academy continued to expand its coverage, developing over 27 peer groups, 4 leadership development programs, a research practice, and 2 health system co-ops

Looking forward, The Academy will continue to increase its reach across healthcare, leveraging its unique platform to foster collaboration and innovation
