HRET Trustee Institute
About the Trustee Institute
The healthcare delivery system is a work in progress. Change is relentless; the business environment erratic. Charged with guiding their institutions through this ever-changing landscape is a cadre of committed volunteers -- hospital trustees. They are business executives, community leaders, local merchants, lawyers, bankers and clergy, but all share the goal of providing their community with a sound, quality healthcare facility. The New Jersey Hospital Association's Health Research and Educational Trust of New Jersey (HRET) recognizes that hospital trustees -- both in New Jersey and across the nation -- require specialized tools, comprehensive training programs and other educational resources to help them make the critical decisions required to effectively govern the healthcare marketplace. That understanding, coupled with feedback from trustees through NJHA's Council on Hospital Governance and Regional Trustee Council Meetings, led HRET to develop a comprehensive educational program that goes beyond the bounds of time and space, where trustees can catch up to the industry's rapid changes at their own pace -- the HRET Trustee Institute.
HRET began the Institute in the fall of 1996 with a development grant from the Fannie E. Rippel Foundation and the American Hospital Association’s Center for Health Care Governance. The Trustee Institute continues to provide hospital trustees with educational programs and an expanded Web site.
