2025 MCACHE President

Happy New Year!

As we step into this new chapter of 2025, I’m honored to greet you as the new President of the Midwest Chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives —a place where aspiring leaders come together to learn, grow, and make a lasting impact.

The beginning of a new year always brings the excitement of fresh aspirations and the resolve to build on our shared mission. In healthcare, where every decision touches lives, this resolve is more critical than ever.

Our industry is navigating dynamic times. In the Metro Detroit Area, we see both progress and challenges: advancements in healthcare technology, evolving care models, and a renewed focus on health equity. At the same time, we’re addressing workforce shifts, adapting to the rise of Artificial Intelligence, and striving to maintain resilience in the face of ongoing demands.

Amid these changes, one thing remains constant: the strength of our community. Together, we tackle challenges, foster innovation, and empower each other to lead with purpose.

Personally, I’m inspired by the talent, passion, and dedication within this organization. Whether you’re here to network, volunteer, or learn, I encourage you to embrace opportunities to grow not only as professionals but as people. Let’s make this year one where we collectively shape the future of healthcare in our area and beyond.

Thank you for your commitment to this journey. I look forward to serving alongside each of you as we work toward a healthier future.

With gratitude,
Medija Shaska, FACHE, PMP
