Spotlight on EMBA Healthcare Program

Seven professionals graduated from the Executive MBA (EMBA) Healthcare Program in the fall 2024 semester. They gained another strategic asset to aid their ascension to higher levels of healthcare management and contribute to the enterprises they support. We wish them much success in the existing healthcare arena. 

Welcome to the four members of the Class of 2025 cohort and the three members of the Class of 2026 cohort to the EMBA Program. We applaud these professionals for their determination to pursue an MBA while balancing the responsibilities of full-time employment, executive management, business ownership and other priorities.
