QHR Health Leadership “U”

QHR Health is committed to strengthening independent community healthcare through leadership development, education, and practical training opportunities. QHR Health’s Leadership U launched its inaugural cohort in 2021, and has seen great success with 60% of the graduating class already holding “C-level” positions.

Established to grow and strengthen our future hospital executives, Leadership U is investing in our hospital partners to train and develop the next generation of talent that will lead the hospital industry into the future. The path to succession planning isn’t a sprint, it’s a journey. Developing the talent pipeline, addressing challenges, and empowering the next generation of community healthcare executives takes investment, and there is no better time than now to start the transition.

Active recruitment has opened for interested leaders to be a part of the Leadership U 2022 cohort. Please submit your application to QHR Health Learning Institute on/by March 28, 2022.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact David Winchester at dwinchester@qhr.com.
