Message From The President

Scott Johnson, MBA, MPH, FACHE, CHFP, CSMC
2026 MCACHE President

I am honored and excited to serve as your president for 2026.  I have been a MCACHE member for almost 15 years and I strongly believe being a member has been, is, and will continue to be a catalyst to my personal and professional growth as a leader.  You are likely a member if you are reading this, and hopefully, you have found MCACHE to be as rewarding as I have.  If you haven’t had this experience, I’d welcome your feedback in how we our board can help supporting you by emailing [email protected] and put “MCACHE Development” into the subject line.  We’d love to hear from you!

If you are not a member, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this introductory message and I hope we can earn your trust to invest in your personal and professional growth by joining MCACHE.  You can check out https://mcache.org/about-us/ or see who our volunteer leaders are here by visiting https://mcache.org/leadership/.  If you’d like to discuss becoming a MCACHE member please email [email protected]t with “MCACHE Membership Inquiry” in the subject line.

Whether it’s following current events or our own personal experience, there is a tremendous amount of uncertainty in our world today.  While much of this is out of our control, our personal and professional development through education and networking is something we can directly pursue through MCACHE.  In 2026, we’re creating more informal opportunities to provide meaningful connection points among members. To support this, we’ve updated our *new MCACHE LinkedIN page functionality for member engagement, highlighting member testimonies, recognizing our members successes, and much more.  We’re launching affinity groups for members with common interests. Two examples currently under development are Senior Executives and Physician Executive Leaders.  If you are interested in either of these, or perhaps want to suggest another group, you can email [email protected] with “MCACHE Affinity Group” in the subject line.

We closed 2025 with 810 members. And as I write this at the close of our first month of 2026, we have 837.  This rapid growth shows that there is a strong need and desire to for career development opportunities. One route to achieve this is through volunteering to serve on one of our committees. If that is something that interests you, please complete a Willing to Serve form. But we also want to hear from those who are uncertain about joining a committee but interested in contributing or developing their skills. If that’s you, please email [email protected] with “MCACHE Skill Support” in the subject line. Through any of these email inquiries, we’ll facilitate outreach from a board member to discuss where we might find that mutual fit.  We’re currently evaluating support needs in project management, coordination activities, technology, data analytics, and podcasting support.  We’re also open to your ideas as well.

Thank you for being a member of MCACHE, I am humbled and honored to serve you as your president this year.  As we invest in others, we invest in ourselves. I hope to hear from you and look forward to a bright 2026.

In advancing our collective leadership and growth,
