I look forward to a great and exciting year and I am blessed to serve as your President. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any of my fellow board members if you have any questions or suggestions on how we can better meet your needs.

Welcome Colleagues to your local ACHE chapter - South-west-Healthcare Executives Association!

To enhance as well as to increase the diversity of your local programming and networking opportunities, South-west-Healthcare Executives Association (SHEA) closely collaborates with the New Mexico Chapter of ACHE as well other groups such as the National Forum for Latino Healthcare Executives.
