We Need
You
Leadership Matters. So Does Your
Participation in the September 29-30 Alumni
Institute in Minneapolis.
We have a global health expert joining us,
Dr. Derek Yach along with several alumni
innovators. For Derek’s background click here:

 Alumni
from The Minnesota Program in Healthcare
Administration are justifiably proud of our many
colleagues that have played key roles over the
past 58 years to enhance the performance of our
nation’s health car system.
We now need a new generation of leaders that
can strengthen the performance of our nation’s
future health sector. All facets of our health
sector need enhancements: clinics, county health
departments, health plans, hospitals, mental
health agencies, long term care facilities and
health promotion and protection programs; Urban
and Rural; Local and Global. Our systems are not
performing at peak nor acceptable levels, and
the strains of future demographic and economic
challenges will unravel our advances of the
past.
We need your ideas and leadership to make a
difference for the future. We need you engaged
in the conversations in Minneapolis on how we
can “connect the dots” for positive health
sector performance enhancement.
I would like your personal involvement to
explore bold strategies for our alumni to be
more effective as “Change Masters” for health
gain, not just health care over the next 10
years. We need your involvement because the
challenges we face are so large and so pervasive
that we all will need to join together to
define, and then solve them.
Here is one short view in The Economist
about the need for leaders to find new ideas for
health system performance improvement.

An essential first step to enhanced
effectiveness is enhanced understanding:
understanding of the problems in our local,
state and national health sectors; and
understanding of some bold solutions to address
the flaws in our current health sector.
The collection of
speakers at The Institute will help provoke
and guide our exploration of these issues, and
stimulate us all to return to our communities
more able to make a difference to improve the
performance of our local, state, national and
global health care and health promotion
initiatives for 2007-2020.
Scan our program
and register online.
We need your energy and experience to assure
that our leaders of the future will be even more
effective than in the past, in all segments of
the health sector.
Thanks and looking forward to see you at The
Institute

Hello Colleagues!
We are helping you “connect the dots” for
better health and healthcare this September
29-30 at our alma mater!
A great gathering of alumni and health sector
leaders to develop an action focused agenda for
change within our local and national health
system, in both public and private organizations
dedicated to personal and public health.
You can even take in the Minnesota
Football game for the Little Brown Jug
competition with Michigan, if you like.

As Program Chair for the September 29-30
Alumni Institute, I wanted to make sure you hold
your calendar open to join us in Minneapolis for
a great gathering of friends in our new home
within the expanded School of Public Health. The
program will be
provocative and will help you to be an even more
effective change agent for better healthcare in
your organization and community.
Why should you attend?
Our nation’s health sector is under
performing, and each of us can do more to help
improve its performance. Our speakers are world
class and will not only stretch our thinking
about what the problems are, but give us
practical insights into what each of us can do
to make a bigger and better difference in our
local health sectors to promote and protect and
restore health.
It will be fun. You can see the Program’s new
home. You can meet old and new friends. You can
learn about new initiatives for advances in
leadership development as part of the Program's
collaboration with the Academic Health Center,
the School of Public Health and the Carlson
School of Management.
You can hear about global trends in disease
management and health system innovations.
You can learn how your individual and
organization leadership roles can be leveraged
for better health care in community, ambulatory
and institutional settings.
Book your time now to attend the 22nd
Alumni Institute. Come prepared to stretch your
mind. Leave ready to act as a change agent for
better health and healthcare!!
