From Staff Reports
Governors State University's (GovState) Dr. Ning Lu says the University's Master of Health Administration (MHA) program, which was recently reaccredited, continues to prepare students to be effective healthcare management professionals.
“Aligned with the university's mission, we strive to serve and empower minority, women, and underserved populations in health administration, fostering the development of leaders who can positively impact health, business, and the communities they serve.”
Dr. Lu, Department Chair and Professor in the College of Health and Human Services, added that the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) Board of Directors approved the reaccreditation for a seven-year term.
“CAHME's reaccreditation highlights the dedication and collaborative efforts of our MHA faculty, staff, and students at Governors State University,” said Dr. Lu. “Our commitment to providing an affordable, competency-based education is underscored by a rigorous curriculum."
The MHA program at GovState helps students to manage regulatory procedures, financial concerns, legal issues, human resources, and more. Skills like these have helped alums adapt to the evolving healthcare field.
“I am immensely grateful for the enriching experience provided by the CAHME-accredited MHA program at GovSate," said Molor-od Oyunkhand, an MHA graduate. "The comprehensive curriculum, coupled with hands-on opportunities like the Field Experience, has equipped me with the skills and confidence to excel in the field of healthcare administration.”
The reaccreditation reaffirms the commitment of GovState’s MHA program to prepare students with a strong foundational knowledge of all areas of healthcare administration.
“CAHME's mission is to advance the quality of healthcare management education globally. CAHME-accredited programs have successfully navigated a complex and careful accreditation process managed by experts in the study and practice of healthcare management,” said Dr. Anthony Stanowski, DHA, FACHE, president and CEO of CAHME.
“The program meets rigorous standards set by leading academics and practitioners. We recognize their commitment to the field,” added Dr. Stanowski.
