MANAGING HEALTH CARE DELIVERY

The Harvard Business School of Buffalo (HBS-Buffalo) annually sponsors a limited number of Buffalo-area hospitals and related healthcare executives to the Managing Health Care Delivery program at Harvard Business School.  The Program consists of three, one week sessions at HBS, spread over eight months.

The purpose of our MHCD Program scholarships is to create a pool of shared educational experiences that will increase discussion and collaboration among the several health care delivery organizations. Through this process, we support systemic change in Health Care Delivery by region rather than by one organization at a time.

These scholarships are coordinated with support from the WNY hospitals and foundations. Please contact our MHCD coordinator, Pam Germain (pgermainsk@aol.com), or Brigid Doherty, (brigiddoherty@yahoo.com) for further information.
