Christian Healthcare Executive Collaborative – Grow
The Christian Healthcare Executive Collaborative (CHEC) is a community of Christians engaged in roles of healthcare leadership, including executives, administrators, managers and clinicians. We are linked together by a common interest in leading well and serving our organizations and our communities through the leading of the Holy Spirit. As a section of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, the largest fellowship of Christian healthcare professionals, we recognize the unique challenges and responsibility carried by those desiring to be faithful Christian stewards within healthcare teams (1 Corinthians 12:28, Romans 12:8). CHEC seeks to connect and engage Christian healthcare leaders with one another as a source of encouragement and counsel. As good stewards of our callings and our God-given gifts, we are compelled that CHEC would be useful to the kingdom of God generally and by supporting global healthcare mission hospital leaders, specifically.
