Description:
The Leadership Academy is a 10-month, cohort-based program designed to accelerate the growth of senior directors and vice presidents across Sutter Health.

The program aligns leadership development with Sutter’s long-term vision, including Destination 2030, ensuring our leaders are equipped with the critical skills prepared to optimize performance, champion innovation, and foster a culture of collaboration and engagement. Through a multi-modal approach to learning by a multitude of internal and external speakers with dynamic, system-level voices, this series combines interactive learning, Sutter Health-specific case studies, executive coaching, peer collaboration, and applied projects.
