November 12, 2010
Bloomington, MN – Mary Ellen Wells, FACHE, Vice President Client Development, Experienced Resources, LLC, recently became a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, the nation’s leading professional society for healthcare leaders.
“Because healthcare management ultimately affects the people in our communities, it is critically important to have a standard of excellence promoted by a professional organization,” said Thomas C. Dolan, Ph.D., FACHE, CAE, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACHE. “By becoming an ACHE Fellow and simultaneously earning board certification from ACHE, healthcare leaders can show that they are committed to providing high-quality service to their patients and community.”
Fellow status represents achievement of the highest standard of professional development. In fact, only 7,500 healthcare executives hold this distinction. To obtain Fellow status, candidates must fulfill multiple requirements, including passing a comprehensive examination, meeting academic and experiential criteria, earning continuing education credits and demonstrating professional/community involvement. Fellows are also committed to ongoing professional development and undergo recertification every three years.
Wells, of Experienced Resources, LLC, Bloomington, MN, is privileged to use the FACHE credential, which signifies board certification in healthcare management and ACHE Fellow status.
“I realize that if I truly wanted to continue in the fast-paced, ever-changing world of health care leadership, I needed to make sure I was current in my knowledge and willing to continue to make the commitment to constant learning,” Wells said.
