Daniel Hanley Center names this year’s cohort of ‘health leaders’
The Daniel Hanley Center for Health Leadership, a Portland-based nonprofit working to transform Maine’s health and health care sectors, announced the names of its 12th Health Leadership Development cohort.
The Health Leadership Development course is an eight-month experiential inter-professional course, held in Hallowell. It’s designed to bring together a diverse group of health and health care leaders to explore their own leadership styles, learn new leadership skills, deepen their perspective of all parts of the complex U.S. health care system and engage with Hanley alumni to create positive change.
This year’s content theme will be “Social Determinants of Health” — defined by the World Health Organization as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels.”
As part of the course, the class members will choose from five to six different projects working toward a positive impact in an area of health inequity caused by the social determinants of health.
At the end of the course, in April 2019, each project group will present its findings to the class and to an external group of health leaders, with the goal of implementing new ideas to eliminate socially determined causes of health inequity.
