Prospective Students
Iowa Student Association of Healthcare Leaders (ISAHL)
The student organization ISAHL is our program's affiliate of the American College of Health Care Executives (ACHE) Higher Education Network. ISAHL is associated with the Iowa Association of Healthcare Leaders (IAHL), the local chapter of ACHE. ACHE serves as the premier organization for health care executives and includes 30,000 members internationally. ACHE strives to foster personal and career development relating to health leadership. If you are not already, you will certainly become aware of ACHE’s presence in our field. You can find out more about ACHE by visiting www.ache.org.
ISAHL members are involved in arranging special guest speakers, community service activities, social events, and fundraising to support student attendance at ACHE’s Annual Congress. Recent guest speakers have included the local Iowa ACHE Regent and one the current health policy advisors to Iowa Senator Tom Harkin. Community service activities include volunteering at Ronald McDonald House, assisting with community clothing drives and participating in various fundraisers. Social events are coordinated by students and have included bowling, a trip to the apple orchard, ice skating and TGIT (Thank Goodness it’s Thursday) events. Each fall ISAHL organizes a golf outing to help offset costs for students attending ACHE’s annual conference.
