Welcome to the Michigan Chapter of the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA). ACHCA is a professional organization for Administrators in Health Care.

Message from the President - February 2010

Dear Michigan Chapter Members

We are excited to let you know that our chapter has partnered with Aging Services of Michigan to assist us with services to our members. Specifically, we will be working with ASM staff to help us with our member communication, educational events/conferences and administrative tasks.  Our goal is to streamline our processes and services to our members.  As most of you know, last year, at the ASM Finance and Reimbursement Conference, our Chapter sponsored a session.  We were given the opportunity to talk about ACHCA at the beginning of the session.   I want to thank Dave Herbel and his staff for making this a reality for us.  Our board has been working to make this a reality for many months.

Our Mission is that ACHCA enables its members to continuously enhance their professional development throughout the continuum of health care administration.

Our Vision is that ACHCA shall be the premiere organization providing professional development opportunities to health care administrators by identifying and meeting the needs its members.

Our Voice will represent the viewpoints, concerns and issues of health care administrators to consumers, policy makers, regulators, and the public.

Our Values are that ACHCA will use all means available to empower each and every administrator to set the standard for professionalism. In addition, ACHCA will strive for diversity among its volunteer leaders and staff. ACHCA will call on employers to go beyond tolerance and realize the value a diverse workforce brings to the community.

ACHCA is the only professional association devoted solely to meeting the needs of today’s long term care executives. ACHCA cultivates the sharing of knowledge among its members through various programs and activities such as the annual convocation. ACHCA defines excellence for the long term care administrator with education programs that provide the CEUs needed for renewal of your license.

Our Executive Board is here to answer questions and to invite you to join a committee. Come join our team. We hope to hear from you!
