About ACHE

For more than 90 years, the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) has focused on one mission—advancing leaders and the field of healthcare leadership excellence. We are the professional home to more than 51,000 healthcare executives who are committed to integrity, lifelong learning, leadership, and diversity and inclusion.

With today’s rapidly-changing healthcare environment, ACHE remains more committed than ever to being the preeminent professional society leaders can count on to help them gain valuable knowledge to improve health for their patients and their communities. Through an established network of 76 chapters—including MAHEF—members have access to networking, education, and career development at the local level. Members also can earn the prestigious, gold standard FACHE® credential, signaling board certification in healthcare management.

Through The Foundation of The American College of Healthcare Executives, excellence is advanced with ongoing research and education, including the annual Congress on Healthcare Leadership, which gathers more than 7,000 participants each year. The Foundation’s publishing division, ACHE Learn, is one of the largest publishers of books and journals on health services management, including textbooks for college and university courses. ACHE is also known for its magazine, Healthcare Executive.

Our commitment to educate, engage and inspire our members as they lead and serve hospitals, healthcare organizations and systems will never waver.
