ACHE Leadership Development Program – Mayo Clinic Health System Site Visit Spotlight
On June 24, 2021, our latest cohort of the ACHE Leadership development program kicked off one of their first site visits as a team. The effort was led by Sandra Elsen, MBA, Sr. Health Systems Engineer, in the Management Engineering and Consulting Department as part of the SW WI Mayo Clinic Health System.
The team took an exemplary and globally known system, and a highly motivated group of early careerists, and tackled some of the most pressing topics affecting all health systems nationally. Some of the highlights included culture work, a deep dive on Mayo’s clinic leadership model, women in leadership, and a closer look at management, engineering, and consulting as a service.
The impactful work did not end there, with the team tackling a master visioning exercise, and even engaging in some leadership through medical improv. Special thanks to the team for their commitment to excellence and for leading such a world-class site visit!

Latest Coffee with the College Podcast Featuring Seth Teigen, FACHE, Chief Executive Officer at Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo
How do you respond when a senior executive in your organization asks you, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Do you risk sounding too ambitious and reply with “I want YOUR job”? Do you sidestep and risk a label of “lacks direction” by saying you’re taking it one step at a time?
Today, we explore how the answer to this question was critical to the career of Seth Teigen, Chief Executive Officer at Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, California. Seth takes us on his career journey, including a story about one of his worst decisions as a new leader, and how an experienced executive advised him never to make a similar mistake again! He also talks about work-life balance, taking advantage of stretch assignments, and how ACHE impacted his professional growth. We hope you enjoy!
