Improve the health of your community and benefit from increased staff loyalty, reduced costs, and excellent market intelligence!

Achieving Success Through Community Leadership is the result of a three-year collaborative research project between the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and the American Hospital Association (AHA). 

The project was designed to uncover the practices put in place by hospitals that have been recognized for their efforts to improve community health. Practices are placed in seven categories that represent different strategies for visioning a healthy community, financing, education, personnel decisions, marketing, creating institutional structures, and developing processes that promote community health.

This handbook provides real-life governance and management examples of 25 practices discovered during site visits at leading hospitals. Practices discussed include such activities as:

  • Investing in community health systematically
  • Promoting community health with and through partners
  • Creating a community health information unit
  • Developing strong support networks with the community
  • Holding recognition events to honor community health activists

Recommended by both ACHE and AHA, this book includes various forms and tips to help you implement these practices at your organization.

Health Administration Press is a division of the Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). ACHE is an international professional society of 30,000 healthcare executives who lead our nation's hospitals, healthcare systems, and other healthcare organizations. ACHE is known for its prestigious credentialing and educational programs and its annual Congress on Healthcare Management, which draws more than 4,000 participants each year. ACHE is also known for its magazine, Healthcare Executive, as well as its groundbreaking research and career development and public policy programs. Through such efforts, ACHE works toward its goal of being the premier professional society for healthcare leaders by providing exceptional value to its members. Founded in 1972 with support from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Health Administration Press has grown from a small office on the campus of the University of Michigan to one of the largest publishers of books and journals on all aspects of health services management, including textbooks for use in college and university courses. Now located in downtown Chicago, the Press also publishes two journals, the Journal of Healthcare Management and Frontiers of Health Services Management
