The Fellowship is a nine-month professional development opportunity for CHA clinicians and leaders. In the 2022-23 program, the CHA Senior Leadership Team is collaborating with the Center for Professional and Academic Development to support two or three person clinical and operational leadership teams in their work in partnership with patients and families to co-produce improvement in patient care quality, safety and experience.

Healthcare service delivery is transforming rapidly -- both inside and outside CHA . Shifting paradigms invite us to think differently about how healthcare service creates value for patients and communities. New payment models have created new opportunities and new expectations and the increasing complexity of our work requires unprecedented levels of teamwork and integration. The digital revolution is redefining interactions; our understanding of the patient’s critical role in shaping their own well-being is evolving.

CHA’s five year strategic plan outlines five priorities -- patients first, one CHA, innovation, growth and financial sustainability. This fellowship seeks to help clinical and operational leaders develop skills that enable disciplined health system innovation that puts our patients first and cultivates a “one CHA” culture of high reliability.
