Now Available Live and On-Demand
Leaders in Catholic health care have come to recognize the crucial importance of formation in ensuring the Catholic identity of our ministries. In response to member needs, CHA is pleased to introduce Foundations On-Demand as a sister program to Foundations Live.
Foundations Live
An Interactive 8-week Virtual Formation and Development Program
CHA’s Foundations of Catholic Health Care Leadership Program provides executives, sponsor and board members, directors, managers, clinicians and other leaders in Catholic health care with a foundation in core theological and ethical principles that are at the heart of the Catholic health ministry. Considered an essential primer for new and current leaders in Catholic health care, the program deepens understanding of the pivotal role leaders play in carrying out the healing mission of Catholic health care in serving the needs of patients, families, communities and the common good.
Foundations On-Demand
Always AvailableFoundations On-Demand is ideal for new leaders who miss scheduled formation opportunities locally or with CHA. The program is also for those who have difficulty getting away from their work to attend a scheduled program.
Dialogue Partner
A local dialogue partner supports On-Demand participants as they work the program at their own pace.
