Bethany Care Society and CCHL Renew Three-Year Strategic Alliance
The renewed partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field and provide the staff from Bethany Care Society with a cost-effective pathway to the Certified Health Executive (CHE) Program.
Bethany Care Society has renewed its strategic alliance with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) to increase the leadership capabilities of health care managers in Canada.
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.
Stephan (Steve) Plourde, CHE, Chief Operating Officer at CCHL, said: “We are truly pleased to renew our strategic alliance with Bethany Care Society. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to advancing leadership excellence and strengthening health systems across Canada.”
Jennifer McCue, President & CEO at Bethany Care Society, said: “Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Through this renewed alliance with the Canadian College of Health Leaders, we are creating meaningful opportunities for our leaders to grow, connect, and lead in ways that reflect Bethany’s commitment to compassionate, person-centered care.”
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.
