Leadership Academy offers a unique perspective on healthcare

The Covenant Health Leadership Academy (CHLA) is an immersive healthcare learning experience designed to introduce, expose and educate community leaders to present-day healthcare issues and opportunities as seen through the eyes of East Tennessee’s leading not-for-profit healthcare system.

The goals of CHLA are to help community leaders understand how healthcare is delivered through first-hand interaction with caregivers and to make those leaders more aware of the scope and quality of the healthcare services provided by Covenant Health.

CHLA is structured around a series of five classes offered from January to May at various Covenant Health facilities. Classes typically run from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. one day a month. The class size is limited to approximately 12 participants so that discussions and observations of procedures are personal, informative and relaxed for each of the participants.
