Partnership agreement serves as an avenue to promote excellence in the health leadership field
Waypoint has entered into a strategic alliance with the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) to increase the leadership capabilities of healthcare managers in Canada.
Through this agreement, eligible employees of Waypoint will work towards obtaining their Certified Health Executive (CHE) designation, the only certification program for all Canadian health leaders. This strategic alliance offers individual leaders several benefits including support for lifelong learning in health services leadership; assistance with career advancement; and peer recognition and also serves as an essential career designation.
We are excited about this collaboration with Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care, who show their commitment to health leadership by committing to have the CHE as a preferred designation for their leaders.
Brenda Lammi, Senior Vice President, Leadership and Professional Development at the CCHL
Waypoint is committed to leadership, and we strive to grow our role as a system and sector leader by building our servant leadership approach. We aim to cultivate high-performing, compassionate leaders with a focus on recognition, culture and improved employee experience.
Demetrios Kalantzis, Vice President of People and Chief Human Resource Officer at Waypoint
This collaboration will also allow for both organizations to better address the constantly evolving needs of health leaders and align themselves with the LEADS in a Caring Environment framework. This framework is a foundation for Canadian health leadership development and defines the knowledge, skills and attitudes a leader must have to positively contribute to the Canadian healthcare system.
