Important Congress Update
After much discussion and consideration, the ACHE Board of Governors and leadership team have decided to cancel the 2020 Congress on Healthcare Leadership as healthcare organizations are actively managing the response to coronavirus (COVID-19) in their communities. We understand and support our members and other leaders—and the need to respond effectively to patient and community concerns.
At this time, there is no action required to receive a full refund of your Congress registration fees. Further details and instructions will arrive via email within 14 business days. We thank you for your continued patience. This cancellation includes all related activities such as pre-Congress seminars and boot camps. No Congress events will be rescheduled in person.
We have compiled an initial list of cancellation FAQs and will continue to update the page as new information becomes available. As always, if you have questions or concerns, our Customer Service Center is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time, at (312) 424-9400 or contact@ache.org.
Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published information specific to healthcare professionals, resources for healthcare facilities and resources for health departments. Furthermore, the American Hospital Association has been working closely with the CDC and other federal, state and local partners to respond to this challenge and ensure hospitals and health systems have the most up-to-date information, available here.
While we are disappointed that we will not be able to greet you in person at this year's Congress, we look forward to an inspiring year of learning and networking. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to advancing healthcare management excellence.
