Healthcare CEOs discuss the dynamics of a changing marketplace at the 2014 Leadership Academy
Leading Change...The Western Health Care Leadership Academy was created to help physicians and other health system stakeholders better understand leading-edge trends and developments in the rapidly changing health care marketplace. Since its inception, the Academy’s focus has expanded to include promotion of effective medical practice management and development of essential physician leadership skills. Recognizing that leadership demands command of current and relevant information, the Leadership Academy is designed to arm participants with knowledge and tools to enable development of creative, proactive and collaborative solutions to address your practice’s or organization’s challenges.
Continuing a tradition of programming excellence, the 2015 Leadership Academy will bring together top practitioners and experts to share strategies and resources for leading change in the fast-changing health care environment. The conference will examine operational, financial; and environmental challenges and provide tools to help transform care delivery and business practices in a way that positions physicians as proactive leaders, rather than reactive victims, of change. Special presentations by Malcolm Gladwell, author of bestsellers that have changed the way we think about our world, and Siddartha Mukherjee, MD, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer, will round out a not-to-be-missed event (watch for the Ken Burns-produced film adaptation of The Emperor of All Maladies scheduled to air on PBS at the end of March). Watch for conference agenda details to be posted soon at www.westernleadershipacademy.com.

Keynote Speaker Malcolm Gladwell
The 18th Annual Western Health Care Leadership Academy is
delighted to welcome keynote speaker Malcolm Gladwell – author
of phenomenally successful bestsellers that have changed the way
we think about our world.
His first book The Tipping Point, has been a New York Times
bestseller for 400+ weeks. It gave us new tools for understanding
trends and embedded the term “tipping point” in our everyday
vocabulary.
Gladwell is truly one of the most impactful thinkers of the 21st
century. His books have deepened our understanding of the human
mind and how we make decisions, as well as the factors that
contribute to high levels of success.
He has also been named one of the 100 most influential people by
TIME magazine and one of the Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers.

“The WHCLA is one of the very best meetings I attend. The mix of insights on political, economic and
social issues affecting physicians is awesome and stimulates
out-of-the-box thinking on ways to shape a better
future for physicians and their patients. I invariably leave this
conference with concepts I can both apply and share with
colleagues. Highly recommended!”
