"The Academy for Healthcare Leadership Advancement with Cornell is a great opportunity for decision-making managers to be exposed to many aspects of the increasingly complex world of healthcare administration. It combines personal interaction with colleagues and faculty at Cornell University with the convenience of teleconferencing from their home and office. I appreciate having been able to send one of my key individuals for this wonderful opportunity to be more prepared to address the hospital administration issues of the future."

"This program provided great insight and training for those looking to become more strategically involved with their organization. The instructors were phenomenal and the mix between classroom and online provided a realistic approach in facing the challenges in today's health care environment."

"So rarely do I get an opportunity to be in a learning environment of such caliber and then have an opportunity to directly apply it. This program is giving me an opportunity to make a difference. There are entities out there that are referred to as incubators, a place where a professional can learn and create and act upon new ideas. That is my impression of this experience. Not only will my capstone be helpful to my organization, but I have connected with other professors at Cornell with whom I will be collaborating on other projects. This is an opportunity I would have never had without The Academy!"
