HaysMed Associate a Graduate of the 2018 KHA Leadership Institute

By Gayla Wichman - In HaysMed News - September 17, 2018

(Hays, Ks Sept 27, 2018) – Schamra Detherage, Director of Human Resources at HaysMed, part of The University of Kansas Health System, recently graduated from the Kansas Hospital Association (KHA) Leadership Institute. The 17th Leadership class graduated 30 students on September 6 at the Kansas Hospital Association Annual Convention and Trade Show in Overland Park, Kansas. Students were nominated by their hospital’s CEO to be part of this select group. They represent the future leaders of Kansas hospitals.

Helping to build future health care leaders is important to the Kansas Hospital Association. “We are committed to strengthening and promoting the leadership capacity of hospital employees in Kansas,” said Tom Bell, president and CEO, Kansas Hospital Association. The KHA Leadership Institute was established to help hospitals provide professional development opportunities that accentuate the personal skills and abilities needed to facilitate positive change and innovation in Kansas hospitals.

The 2018 Leadership Institute class was diverse. They represented a wide geographic distribution of hospitals from Hays to Leavenworth and Girard to Liberal – there was representation from all parts of the state.  Students had been working in health care for as little as one year to more than 20 years.  Several students have been in management positions for more than 10 year while others were brand new to management position.  Some students also are supervisors, supervising a range of employees, from a few to more than 50 employees.

It is important to note that the students nominated to participate in this program were not selected because they needed to learn “management skills”.   They were nominated because their CEO recognized their potential to be future leaders and wanted to help cultivate that development. Each one of these students made a personal and professional commitment to expand their skills by attending all six courses of the Leadership Institute.

The curriculum was structured to enhance each student’s leadership abilities.  Course#1 focused on explaining the difference between leadership and management, identifying organizational values and creating a positive organizational climate.  Course #2 examined conflict and how to effectively manage it.  Course #4 focused on team building – including how to lead a team and how to be part of a team.  Courses #5 and #6 were at the KHA Annual Convention and Trade Show.  Students learned about the challenges facing health care in the future.

Detherage has been an Associates of HaysMed since 2007.
