New partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in health leadership.
The Broadway Group and the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) have signed a new three-year Strategic Alliance Partnership to strengthen leadership capacity and promote excellence in health leadership across the organization.
Through this agreement, The Broadway Group leaders will gain enhanced access to leadership development opportunities and recognition through the Certified Health Executive (CHE) designation. The CHE designation is the only national certification program for Canadian health leaders. This program offers individual leaders several benefits including support for lifelong learning in health services leadership; assistance with career advancement; peer recognition and serves as an essential career designation.
Stéphan (Steve) Plourde, CHE, Chief Operating Officer at CCHL, said: “The Canadian College of Health Leaders is thrilled to have entered a partnership with The Broadway Group. This agreement demonstrates The Broadway Group’s ongoing commitment to developing future health leaders.”
“At The Broadway Group, we believe leadership begins with service”, said Kathrin McMath, CEO. “Our team members are our greatest strength, and strong leaders create the conditions for others to thrive by building trust, developing people, and fostering a culture of care and excellence. Through this partnership, we are investing in leadership that puts people first, strengthens the communities we serve, and contributes to a stronger health care system.”
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.
