New partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field
Calgary/Ottawa – The Bethany Care Society has renewed its strategic alliance with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) to increase the leadership capabilities of health care managers in Canada.
Through this agreement, eligible members and Bethany Care Society employees will work towards obtaining their Certified Health Executive (CHE) designation, the only certification program for all Canadian health leaders. This strategic alliance offers individual leaders several benefits including support for lifelong learning in health services leadership; assistance with career advancement; peer recognition and also serves as an essential career designation.
Brenda Lammi, Vice President, Leadership and Professional Development at the CCHL, said: “The CCHL is thrilled to have renewed its Employer Agreement with the Bethany Care Society. This agreement represents a dedication and commitment by Bethany Care Society to lifelong learning and development of its leaders, at all levels of the organization.”
“Bethany is committed to the profession of leadership and management in the health services field”, says Jennifer McCue, President and CEO of Bethany Care Society. “This renewal of our partnership with the CCHL supports our corporate commitment to promoting excellence at Bethany.”
This collaboration will also allow for both organizations to better address the constantly evolving needs of health leaders and align themselves with the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework. This framework is a foundation for Canadian health leadership development and defines the knowledge, skills and attitudes a leader must have to positively contribute to the Canadian health care system.
