Mission & Vision

MISSION

The primary mission of The Leadership Institute is to enhance the capacity of executive leadership teams from provider-sponsored, nonprofit health systems to govern and manage. A critical role of the Institute is to facilitate the development of true partnerships among physicians and hospitals as their systems and related technologies evolve. Roundtable and virtual forum methodologies provide a foundation for reasoned analysis that can help generate improved judgment and broadened points of view for health leaders as they plan and implement responsible innovations in health and care delivery.

VISION

By facilitating the exchange and exploration of different perspectives, information, and experiences related to common issues and challenges of health systems, LI provides a strategic, deliberative process leading to inspired and innovative actions. These efforts are timely, and coincide with present and future requirements of health systems as they forge new frontiers in health and care delivery.

The Leadership Institute is intended to provide members with added value and competitive advantage, including value to their communities. Fellow Institute members share a compatibility of purpose, values, behaviors, and functionality with each other which include:

      • Community-based care models
      • Grounded in a not-for-profit historic context
      • Committed to collaborative, values-based decision-making and planning
      • Customer-driven
      • Responsible innovation

By bringing together senior management and physician leadership to explore, reflect, and assess the challenges facing their delivery organizations, The Leadership Institute offers a unique and ongoing opportunity to its members to focus on issues collectively rather than in isolation.

As innovations in the provision of health care delivery are planned and implemented by Institute members, members will benefit from the open and frank exchange of ideas and knowledge of their fellow members in similar key decision-making roles.
