2. Clearly, change is needed.
healthcare in the U.S.
America spends more per person on healthcare than any other country –– and does not have the best health outcomes.
$9,237 annually per capita spending
1 in 3 adults are considered obese
117 million people have at least one chronic disease
Life-expectancy rate is declining (78.8 years, compared to an average of 82.2 years among comparable countries)
National health spending is projected to grow at an average rate of 5.6 percent per year for the next decade.
Clearly, change is needed.

3. Responding to Patient Demand
There is a tremendous demand for programs, models, and healthcare providers that do more than simply treat disease. A consumer-driven marketplace is spurring innovation and change that enable healthcare organizations to better meet patients’ needs.

4. Creating a Culture of Health and Well-Being
To capitalize on the movement towards prevention and the creation of a culture of health and well-being we need leaders who:
Understand the immense value of conventional medicine
Are fully versed in the promise of health and well-being
Create collaborative environments in which the best of both can be realized

The Leadership Program in Health and Well-Being at Duke University is changing healthcare leaders’ lives and the outcomes they achieve. Their model of Integrative Leadership is grounded in a mindful approach that develops participants’ ability to inspire action and teaches working models of Integrative Healthcare and the principles behind the success of integrative care.

6. A new leader for our organization
Through extensive, personalized leadership training, a guided curriculum developed by health and well- being experts and mentorship from faculty from the Duke Fuqua School of Business on project planning, I expect to increase my ability to lead and the outcomes I achieve.

7. an Investment for our Organization
The next cohort begins in September and runs through the following September. Applications are now being accepted.
It is a one-year program that offers self-paced online coursework and, after six months, pairs each student with a faculty mentor from Duke’s Fuqua School of Business to create a business project for <<YOUR ORGANIZATION>>.
The cost of the program is $15,000. Financial assistance is available, but I will need to fund at least some of the cost.
