The American Hospital Association (AHA) seeks a dynamic, transformative leader to serve as its next President and CEO. This is a career-defining opportunity to advance the health of our nation and guide the Association through one of the most complex and consequential periods in health care.
The AHA is recognized as a leading advocate for health care provider organizations and individuals committed to improving community health. The CEO will lead this preeminent organization, representing the advocacy priorities and needs of nearly 5,000 member hospitals, health systems and clinician partners. The CEO will lead a team of 450 professionals delivering high-value programs and services to AHA members.
In a dynamic, challenging field, the CEO must be an exceptional communicator and influential bridge builder, shaping and translating policy issues and aligning members around clear strategic priorities based on a deep understanding of their collective interests. Member unity on key policy issues is critical to the AHA’s impact; the CEO must build trusting relationships across a broad spectrum of members and partners, effectively convening and coalescing stakeholders. The successful candidate must possess a track record of influential leadership and health care field credibility and relevance to accelerate their leadership impact.
The CEO will be a strategic leader who partners effectively with the AHA Board of Trustees, staff, and membership to advance the organization’s goals. Through diplomatic yet bold leadership, the CEO will unite and activate members and partners around actionable strategies and messages that will protect and reshape the health care field, ensuring accessible, affordable, high-quality care. The CEO will be passionate about advancing health care quality, safety and affordability and skilled in cultivating influential relationships with policy leaders.
Success will require leadership grounded in tact, engagement, collaboration, diplomacy, and teamwork. The CEO must be highly visible, providing a clear, consistent, and effective voice for hospitals, health systems, and the communities they serve. Forging collaborative relationships with partner associations and organizations to tell the story of hospitals and health systems is essential. Given the existential threats and opportunities for innovation facing the field, including the AHA's leadership role advancing payment reform and addressing affordability, the CEO must boldly ensure AHA drives an agenda that galvanizes members and influences critical regulatory and political stakeholders.
This opportunity seeks a courageous, diplomatic and influential leader motivated to advance the interests of America’s hospitals and health systems and strengthen the impact of the AHA’s programs and services for its members.
