2021 - 2022 Next Generation Leaders Fellowship Mentors
Meet the 2021-2022 Mentors
The Next Generation Leaders Fellowship welcomed its 2021 cohort of mentors. Each of the 32 fellows of the Next Gen Leaders Fellowship was matched with an executive level health care leader during the 12-month program. Fellows and mentors worked closely throughout the year on a capstone project and other professional development goals.
