2021 Vision: Focus on Leadership in a Complex World
Unfortunately, we must postpone the 2020 UAB National Symposium for Healthcare Executives due to public health concerns involving COVID-19. We wish we had the opportunity to connect with you in person this year, but the health and safety of our friends is our top priority.
In the meantime, the Department of Health Services Administration and the Center for Healthcare Management & Leadership are committed to continue providing professional development and educational opportunities. We invite you to join our new monthly webinar series.
Save the Date: July 28 - 30, 2021
We are going back to the beach and back to the summer schedule in 2021 so please mark your calendar for July 28 - 30, 2021.
We all know health systems are complex and described as "messy" or "unpredictable", but there is a growing awareness in developing and adopting a complexity perspective in health policy. We will give attention to the benefits as well as the consequences for healthcare managers and leaders this year.
Be sure to join us with discounted rates at The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa, Destin. The Henderson was awarded "The South's Best Resort 2019" by Southern Living.

The Symposium Turns 40 at the Beach!
Since 1980, we have hosted 4,000+ healthcare leaders from around the world. CEOs, CNOs, CIOs, CFOs and other healthcare executives return every summer for this exclusive, intensive, yet relaxed gathering. We are coming off a record turnout for the 2019 Symposium and we are certain the 2020 version will not disappoint. Come to the beach to learn and to help celebrate our 40th anniversary!
Think about it - you, and your management team, can exchange ideas with top decision makers; you can discuss best practices with those who have made a difference; you can discover innovative ways to improve your organization; and you can earn face-to-face ACHE credit hours in the perfect summer setting.
ACHE Face-To-Face Credit Hours
As in the past, we will work with our partnering ACHE Chapters and will offer ACHE Face-to-Face Credit Hours so attendees can achieve and maintain their status in the American College of Healthcare Executives. We hope to once again provide access to 9 hours of ACHE F2F credit in 2021.
