Health Leadership Program
Sierra Health Foundation created the Health Leadership Program to strengthen the leadership skills of leaders of nonprofit organizations and public agencies whose mission is dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of Northern Californians.
Lessons learned through 25 years of grantmaking have shown us that an organization can have talented staff, good program design and sufficient resources, but without dedicated, skilled leaders, the organization and its programs will not achieve their potential impact.
The Health Leadership Program's goal is to send a diverse group of leaders back into their communities better skilled, further motivated and with a stronger vision to lead those around them into a healthier future.
The State Capital Center of the University of Southern California (USC) School of Policy, Planning, and Development and the Marshall School of Business deliver the course curriculum. These institutions offer a diversity of expertise in health, public policy, nonprofit management, board development and private-sector best practices.
