Washington State Healthcare Executives Forum

Washington State Healthcare Executives Forum (WSHEF) -- formerly the Puget Sound Healthcare Executives Forum (PSHEF)

What is WSHEF?

WSHEF is a Healthcare Executives Group (HEG) affiliated with the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). As PSHEF, the HEG was named as one of 13 Local Demonstration Chapters in the nation. WSHEF was one of 68 of the first fully chartered independent chapters of the American College of Healthcare Executives. WSHEF is a forum for all healthcare executives and related professionals to network, learn and develop their careers. We invite you to join us as we help the Healthcare professional in the state of Washington collaborate and be more efficient (and have some fun along the way).

The Mission of WSHEF is to...

promote interaction and communication among healthcare professionals;

foster professional development and educational forums;

and address critical healthcare issues on local, state, and national levels.

For more information on the state of the WSHEF, take a look at the presentation from the recent 2009 Business Meeting Update...
