Hanley Center for Health Leadership & Education

Hanley Center for Health Leadership & Education The Hanley Center supports the transformation of health and healthcare through building a culture of greater collaboration.

The Hanley Center for Health Leadership & Education is nonprofit, independent, statewide organization dedicated to supporting the transformation of Maine’s health and healthcare sectors. We achieve this mission by:
- Preparing individuals to be more effective leaders through programs such as the Health Leadership Development program and the Physician Executive Leadership Instutute
- Engaging stak

eholders to address complex issues that require collaborative solutions. In recent years these initiatives have helped to build support for Maine's statewide nonprofit electronic information exchange (HealthInfoNet), to assist behavioral health providers in their efforts to acquire electronic medical records and share clinical information (with patient consent) with primary care practitioners; and to better align the efforts of organizations across Maine that are working to reduce youth obesity.

This Wednesday we wrapped up our 3rd cohort of the Nursing Leadership Institute (NLI) 🎉.

Nurses are constantly stepping into leadership, formally and informally, often without ever having had dedicated leadership development to support them. This program exists to change that. Watching this group grow over the course of our time together and walk away with more confidence, clarity, and the tools to lead is exactly why we do this work.

So proud of everyone who crossed the finish line. Congratulations, NLI Cohort 3!

If you're a nurse looking to invest in your leadership development, we're now accepting open enrollment for Cohort 4, beginning October 21.

✨📢Need time to plan for your enrollment? Plan to enroll during Nurse Appreciation Week (May 6-May 12) and receive a 10% discount on your enrollment!

We'd love to be part of your journey!
