Winter Symposium and Summer Conference

Each year, the LHA offers two programs specifically for hospital leadership. The Winter Healthcare Leadership Symposium and the Summer Conference combine opportunities for hospital leadership to learn about the latest healthcare developments, locally and nationally, and to network with colleagues from across the state.

Leadership Programs

Changing health and healthcare in Louisiana and beyond will require transformational leadership, and an important part of Louisiana hospitals' initiative to reengineer care is to identify and train leaders for today and tomorrow. Therefore a priority for the LHA is to identify education gaps and work with the appropriate partners to make needed training accessible and affordable to the Louisiana healthcare workforce who will play a leadership role in transforming healthcare. Audiences for various offerings are likely to include hospital executives, trustees, managers, physicians, nurses, members of the community, hospital employees who are natural leaders among their peers, and students who look forward to a career in healthcare. For more information on leadership offerings, visit the LHA Education Calendar or call 225- 928-0026.
