The University of Iowa’s Master of Health Administration (MHA) program is the recipient of the 2024 ACHE Higher Education Network Award for graduate programs by the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE).

The award recognizes one graduate and one undergraduate program annually that demonstrates the highest level of ACHE engagement.

“We are honored to be recognized by ACHE,” says Kristin Wilson, MHA program director. “It is a result of our dedicated alumni and students working together to further the program’s efforts in preparing our emerging leaders for future success, and being highly engaged with ACHE at a state and national level is a critical component to that preparation.”

“We are grateful for these opportunities through our active Iowa ACHE chapter, through our regent representation, and at the national level,” Wilson says.

The award will be presented at the ACHE annual meeting in March.

The American College of Healthcare Executives is an international professional society of more than 48,000 healthcare executives who lead hospitals, healthcare systems, and other healthcare organizations. ACHE’s mission is to advance healthcare leadership excellence among its members.
