Leaders from health and social care organizations serving young children and older adults, especially those in under-resourced communities, are encouraged to apply to the next cohort of Health Leadership Fellows.
What is the Health Leadership Fellows program?
Most nonprofit professionals would agree: a strong, diverse network of leaders is necessary to achieve our collective goals and create a healthy and equitable western and central New York.
To build that network of skilled leaders who will take on these challenges together, the Health Foundation created the Health Leadership Fellows program in 2005. One of our earliest and longest-running programs, the Fellows program has strengthened collaboration among hundreds of nonprofit professionals.
