Health Care Board Orientation

AHA's Trustee Services has partnered with AHA's Professional Membership Group, SHSMD, to offer a four-module, on-demand series of educational videos on the health care environment specially designed for hospital and health system trustees. The modules can educate new board members and supplement your current board orientation. The educational modules can also update existing board members about key health care issues. Each module is broken down into short segments to allow participants to control the pace of the learning modules to their specific needs.
