WHA In-house Services
WHA is committed to supporting members and helping them succeed in their communities.
WHA has you covered from education to mentorship and beyond!
It can be challenging to ensure quality training for healthcare and business leaders in our rural communities. Often times staff will have to travel far for expensive classes while managing busy schedules. WHA has been providing leadership education for over 15 years. We listen and respond by providing leading experts in relevant topics for today’s leaders.
Leadership Academy focuses on different areas geared toward improving performance and motivating staff to be the best they can be. Classes are based on attendee feedback and suggestions.

As healthcare leaders, who do you turn to when you need help, advice or just want to kick around some new ideas? Who do you ask about experiences with a particular vendor or consultant? It’s important to realize that you are not alone in the obstacles you face on a day-to-day basis.
WHA’s Peer Networks provide a circle of peers with whom you can share ideas, experiences, fears, concerns, successes, and much more. Members feel safe to express themselves in a safe environment where they are not judged, and peers are there to support each other. Made up of peers just like you, your peer network consists of others in your role who can relate to your situation.
WHA’s Peer Networks also offer a platform to create solutions and programs that can help your organization save money and improve efficiencies. You don’t have to sift through everything on your own, your peers are here to help!

Mentee Application
Most employees work in healthcare organizations to help patients, but they may not feel comfortable collecting money. How do you get your team excited about this effort? Point of Service Collections is not optional, it’s the new standard and it’s critical to align your processes and policies to back up your message.
We can help you establish a hardwired culture around upfront collections. We can help you train your team to think about point-of-service collections as more than just collecting payment; it’s about educating the patient.
In the era of increased price transparency, your patients are shopping for their healthcare services more than ever before. We can help ensure you provide a timely, accurate estimate to patients to position your organization now and into the future.
This program is built for those who want develop professionally and move into an administrative role/C-Suite position.
We know there are traditional courses you can take but might not get the soft skills needed to advance. Our new mentor program matches seasoned WHA C-suite members (CEO, CFO, CNO, VP, etc.) with staff members from other organizations to help them advance their skill set.
WHA members have been supporting each other for over 30 years and are some of the most innovative and resilient people in healthcare. This program allows members to share their expertise and wisdom with those wanting to advance without paying huge sums of money.
