UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Executive Program (HCEP)

Transforming Health Care Executives

 
The UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Executive Program (HCEP) is a unique and intensive program that builds leadership and management skills of executives and leaders of U.S.-based community health centers (CHCs) and other community-based organizations (CBOs) that are devoted to expanding the quality and quantity of care, treatment and support delivered to underserved and vulnerable populations nationwide.
Increase your ability to plan, lead and organize the effective delivery of health services in an ever-changing and increasingly challenging environment!

Get the HCEP Experience

 
The HCEP is specifically designed and especially valuable for organizations to plan for and/or implement shifts in their organizational strategies to confront the new environment for health care delivery. That changed environment is characterized by payment reform that incentivizes value, a need to demonstrate positive health outcomes as well as a favorable patient or client experience, and by an increased emphasis on the coordination of care and support across behavioral, medical, dental and social service boundaries. The program will assist organizations to engage in planning and implementation to integrate their service delivery models. The benefits and strategies of partnering with other entities within the medical ecosystem will be highlighted - fostering adaptation to this new environment.
2024 HCEP Brochure

“The UCLA J&J program gave me the courage to go after my dreams in creating new solutions to benefit the safety net and its patient base, in spite of or perhaps, because of adversity. The vision and stories of success that were interspersed with our skills and community building throughout the two-week intensive program were both rich and powerful, necessary to fuel the tough road ahead." 

Kevin Lewis
CEO of Maine Community Health Options

Online Webinars
A series of post-program webinars is offered exclusively to alumni of the UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Executive Program for continual learning.

The program employs MBA students as Strategic Consultants who lead small study groups to clarify and discuss session content with participants and act as consultants as participants develop their strategic projects.

“The program presented me with two amazing opportunities— one, to learn, and two, time to be strategic. Too many times, as CEOs, we do not invest in ourselves. Unless we do, our organization will not be successful.”
