About the Registry
Across the country, hospitals and health systems are seeking qualified individuals from diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds who are interested in participating in hospital governance.
In response, the American Hospital Association, along with its Institute for Diversity in Health Management and Center for Healthcare Governance, has developed a resource to connect boards with diverse candidates whose skills and interests may be a good match for their organizations.
The registry includes a diverse pool of candidates who have participated in a series of AHA-sponsored educational programs designed to prepare participants for board service. Curriculum includes examination of the basic principles by which a hospital board operates, including the trustee's role and responsibilities and the board's role in setting strategy and determining policy, as well as the unique challenges faced by health care governing boards.
We hope that this registry will be a valuable resource for you as you seek to ensure that your board reflects the community you serve.
