CT Health Foundation Health Leadership Fellows Program

CT Health Foundation established the Health Leadership Fellows Program to create leaders and change agents through who have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to recognize and seize opportunities to act for health equity.

To close the gap caused by racial and ethnic health disparities, communities need strong leaders who can advocate for policy decisions that influence health-related issues and health care.

"The Health Leadership Fellows program brings together diverse yet like-minded individuals from multiple sectors that are dedicated to achieving health equity. The Program consists of seminars, weekend retreats, a group leadership project, and outside coursework that foster a learning-intensive environment for the participants to challenge themselves and each other."

Twenty participants will be selected for the program. Eligible candidates should demonstrate a commitment to achieving health quality in the state of Connecticut.

Deadline: April 2, 2012.
