GE Healthcare, Nonprofit Group Plan to Nurture Leaders

Healthy Interest in Health Care Training: GE Healthcare is teaming with the nonprofit National Center for Healthcare Leadership to provide educational offerings and special training to “create and sustain leadership excellence” among health care organizations. Known as the Institute for Transformational Healthcare Leadership, the initiative aims to provide “assessment and planning methods [and] learning programs to systematically develop leaders from the front line to senior executive level,” according to a statement. The Chicago-based National Center for Healthcare Leadership is launching the project with a series of workshops and leadership programs in October to help people improve job performance. NCHL’s benchmarking and evaluation tools will be used in conjunction with GE’s management systems to help healthcare organizations recruit and better retain top talent, as well as help healthcare leaders “create a culture of accountability” within their organizations. GE Healthcare, which is headquartered in the U.K. and has 4,600 global employees, is a $17 billion unit of General Electric Co.
