Welcome to the Michigan Chapter of the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA). ACHCA is a professional organization for Administrators in Health Care.

Message from the President - April 2009

Our newly installed Board of the Michigan Chapter of ACHCA looks forward to working with you to meet your professional development needs.  As your newly elected President, our dedicated Board Members and I are excited about the future.  Networking and education will be our main focus as well as the continued development of our New Administrator Leadership Experience (NALE) program. 

Please plan now to attend the 2009 ACHCA Annual Convocation in Providence, Rhode Island May 15-19, 2009. Our Michigan Chapter will reimburse the first 10 Michigan registrants $200.00 to help cover the cost of this trip!! We were recently notified that our Chapter is being awarded a Chapter Excellence award for our outstanding achievement in our NALE program. I am planning on attended the Annual Convocation in May to accept this award on behalf of the Chapter. It would be wonderful to have other Michigan members there along side me during this award ceremony. Please see the Award letter posted in the Award section of the home page.

Our Mission is that ACHCA enables its members to continuously enhance their professional development throughout the continuum of health care administration.

Our Vision is that ACHCA shall be the premiere organization providing professional development opportunities to health care administrators by identifying and meeting the needs its members.

Our Voice will represent the viewpoints, concerns and issues of health care administrators to consumers, policy makers, regulators, and the public.

Our Values are that ACHCA will use all means available to empower each and every administrator to set the standard for professionalism. In addition, ACHCA will strive for diversity among its volunteer leaders and staff. ACHCA will call on employers to go beyond tolerance and realize the value a diverse workforce brings to the community.

ACHCA is the only professional association devoted solely to meeting the needs of today’s long term care executives. ACHCA cultivates the sharing of knowledge among its members through various programs and activities such as the annual convocation. ACHCA defines excellence for the long term care administrator with education programs that provide the CEUs needed for renewal of your license.

Our Executive Board is here to answer questions and to invite you to join a committee. Come join our team. We hope to hear from you!
