THE DESALES HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION CLUB, LED BY PRESIDENT BRENDA COLANGELO AND ADVISOR DR. KAREN KENT, RECEIVED NATIONAL RECOGNITION FROM THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVES AT THE ACHE CONGRESS IN MARCH 2023 IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
The club was presented with the Health Executives Network Award for the program’s connection with healthcare executives in our area. DeSales was nominated by Michael George, Eastern Pennsylvania ACHE Regent and Allentown College graduate. Dr. Kent received the award on behalf of the student organization. The club is open to all healthcare majors and alumni at DeSales, including traditional day, adult studies, and MBA/graduate students. With over 40 members, the club holds monthly meetings during which national and regional healthcare leaders are invited to connect with students, offer career guidance, and discuss trends and challenges in their industry. In addition, the club organizes field trips to local facilities including the LVHN Center for Healthcare Education, the LVHN Disaster Command Center, and the Cetronia Ambulance Corps. A fall social at the DeSales University Center is one of the major kickoff events to start each academic year. If you are interested in coming to our events or would like to present to our community, please contact Dr. Kent at Karen.Kent@desales.edu.
