about us

Serving as a bridge between education and the profession

The Center for Health and Aging Services Excellence (CHASE) is a unique partnership that combines the energy of academia, provider organizations and professional associations. The Center focuses on influencing the profession through positive program enhancements for students and secondarily on partner organizations.

One of the fundamental beliefs of the Center is that the challenges of health and aging services administration cannot be solved by any single stakeholder group. Working together our Board and staff are optimistic that we can continue the progress we have experienced the past few years. Finding common ground and language takes persistence, but the time required has proven worthwhile. We are committed to continuing this pursuit and crafting a local, regional and national action plan to move us forward.

We invite you to learn more about the Center and become engaged with our efforts as we strive to reach new heights!
