Talent Development Partnerships
“We are using the [Leader Development] program to change culture, developing a group of star performers who can understand the context and complexity of our business and support our most pressing challenges.”
—Chris Van Gorder, CEO
Scripps Systems
“I found myself at the edge of my seat, leaning forward, taking notes like mad, my mind leaping from the discussion to the possibilities. In short, I was completely engrossed and engaged.”
—Leader Development participant, 500-bed hospital
“I think the perception by senior management today is that this [Frontline Impact partnership] investment has been very much worthwhile really for two reasons. One, is that it has given us bench strength to draw upon for future promotions and hires, but I think as we have looked at the role of the frontline worker and what we really expect, we found that the leadership skills are a critical component.”
—Doug Dorman
“It’s really important for us as an organization to make that investment in developing all of our new and upcoming young leaders so that they will be prepared to lead us in the future. This [Frontline Impact] program has re-infused my executive team with the possibilities and potentials of those young leaders who are coming up behind us, and that’s been very exciting for us.”
—Marilyn Dubree MSN, RN, Executive Chief Nursing Officer
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
“Our [Frontline Impact] students have just blossomed and love the challenge of learning something new. When they go back and apply the principles at the bedside or in their leadership role on the unit, they feel more confident. I think they have the tools to do their job better and they look forward to being more of a lifelong learner.”
—Jane Swaim, MS, RN, Vice President of Nursing
St. Elizabeth Medical Center
“The [Frontline Impact program] developed my leadership skills to extend beyond my unit boundaries and allowed me to elevate the level of patient safety at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. The Center gave me the resources to reach outside my comfort zone and take on a major hospital initiative.”
—Julie Burnley
"[The Performance Acceleration program] has taught me skills in analyzing, diagnosing, planning, and leading change that will assist in transforming the HR operations function from tactical to strategic."

—Jennifer Bergeron, Director of Health Care Improvement & Innovation
Elliot Health System
“This is wonderful. The [Performance Acceleration series] is not a project, it is a way of life for us now.”
