Message From Our President

A key ingredient in the way a school works is the leadership of the school, and because of that I thought it important to tell you a little about my background. I have a Master in Health Care Administration degree and have worked as the President and CEO of a major health care system which included a 350 bed acute care teaching hospital, three (3) nursing homes, a physician group practice, a home care agency, and a free standing laboratory.

I also served for many years as the Administrator of a very large physician group practice with 300 physicians and over 30 office locations. I am a Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives and a Certified Medical Practice Executive in the American College of Medical Practice Executives. Why is this important? Because, my 25+ year career as a health care executive drives how we operate. We stay in close contact with professionals in the field to make sure we are keeping up with their needs-training students based on what the employers tell us students need to know. We create our curriculums based on what students will really be doing in their future jobs. We can answer student's questions about the differences of working in a hospital versus a nursing home versus a physician office, or working as a medical biller versus a medical coder versus a medical office specialist. Finally, as our motto next to our logo states "Learning starts with caring". We care about our students. I invite you to see it in person. Come for a visit to our school and you will see caring everywhere! Best wishes for a wonderful career helping people!

Sincerely,

Robert E. Maher, Jr.,MHA
