A Valuable Resource

For Information, Services and Programs

CHA offers a wealth of resources to help canonical sponsors, board members, senior leaders, mission leaders and other ministry executives navigate today's challenging environment and maintain the Catholic identity of these health systems and facilities.

The association's staff of experts serves member organizations through consultation, education and presentations on topics of sponsorship, ethics, mission integration, advocacy, leadership formation and more.



CHA offers a portfolio of in-person events throughout the year for education, networking and sharing best practices. Among these programs are: "Foundations of Catholic Health Care Leadership," (also offered as an online distance learning program), an introduction to ministry concepts for new leaders; the Theology and Ethics Colloquium, Sponsorship Institute, Physician Leader Forum and a week-long ecclesiology and spiritual renewal event for leaders that is held in Rome.

CHA's extensive webinar offerings provide a convenient, affordable way for members to learn about timely issues and trends and to advance their professional development. Many CHA meetings, webinars and programs offer continuing education credit to advance member education and professional development. CHA programs have been approved for CEUs through the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), the National Association of Boards and Examiners of Long-term Care Administrators (NAB), the National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NACC), and the Missouri Nurses Association (MONA).
