Leadership Alliance
A Dynamic, Collaborative Learning Community for Health Care Executives and Their Teams
The 鶹ӳ (鶹ӳ) Leadership Alliance is a dynamic collaboration of health care executives who share a goal to work with one another as well as in partnership with our patients, workforces, and communities to deliver on the full promise of the 鶹ӳ Quintuple Aim.
Alliance Members share generously with one another, confident that by collaborating and learning together, we can individually and collectively get better, faster.
At this critical moment, health care needs leaders with the courage to imagine, design, and scale new models of innovation, collaboration, and governance that can push health care beyond its traditional limits.
The Leadership Alliance provides that space for leaders to transform and innovate health care together and we are committed to rebuilding healthcare from the inside out.
The 2026–2027 鶹ӳ Leadership Alliance membership year begins in October 2026.

“The Alliance is one of my 'happy places.' It is a group for which there is no hierarchy. You don’t feel like you are going out on a limb when you ask a question, and the group always appreciates when you share your own challenges, journey, and solutions. The Alliance’s judgment-free space allows for free collaboration that drives results and gives me joy.”
