Executives from other community-based healthcare organizations that partner with health systems to address behavioral health issues and/or HIV/AIDS are also encouraged to apply. This program has particular applicability for those who have just assumed, or soon will assume, major management responsibilities. Organizations are encouraged to send multiple individuals from the leadership team, and to identify other organizations with which they plan to merge, form an alliance or partner with, and then apply jointly. The curriculum consists of practical tools, techniques and approaches to leadership and management designed to assist CHCs in adapting to the rapid and radical changes in policy, demographics, and technology impacting health care today. A unique and fundamental component of this program is that during the last two and a half days of this training, the board or community coalition chair is involved as a co-participant.
