Maryland Healthcare Education Institute

What Maryland Healthcare Education Institute does

The Maryland Healthcare Education Institute (MHEI) is a Maryland-based nonprofit founded in 1967 that provides leadership development, organizational development, and consultative services to healthcare organizations. It serves 50+ member healthcare organizations across Maryland, including large hospital systems such as Johns Hopkins Medicine, MedStar Health, University of Maryland Medical System, and Ascension, alongside smaller community hospitals and healthcare associations. The organization addresses leadership capability gaps, regulatory compliance, team engagement, and succession planning for frontline, mid-level, and executive leaders in healthcare.

MHEI's core product portfolio comprises four pillars: (1) MHEI Programs — ongoing virtual and in-person training sessions and workshops held at the Elkridge, Maryland headquarters; (2) Management Boot Camp — a 6-month virtual cohort for new managers; (3) Leadership Coaching — 3 to 6-month individualized coaching engagements incorporating DiSC, StrengthsFinder, and LPI assessments; and (4) MHEI On Your Campus — customized on-site leadership development, team-building, and coaching delivered at member locations. Supporting offerings include the CORE Leadership series, Preceptor Academy, Physician Leadership program, and an on-demand video library co-created with Healthcare Experience Foundation (HXF). Delivery is hybrid, via Zoom and on-site at member campuses, using Zoom as the primary virtual platform.

The business model is membership-based with three revenue streams: annual subscription membership dues providing access to programming, virtual programs, and member benefits; per-program and training fees for specific educational offerings at member-discounted pricing; and customized leadership coaching engagements available to both member and non-member organizations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; membership is acquired through direct outreach, healthcare community networking, and referrals. MHEI is governed by a Board of Trustees and operates with a small professional staff led by President Lyndley Andrews.

• Healthcare Experience Foundation (HXF): Healthcare Experience Foundation is a healthcare-focused leadership and experience organization that co-produces content with MHEI (learning bites video library). It serves a similar niche of healthcare culture and leadership development, making it a directly comparable specialist peer.
• National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL): NCHL is a national nonprofit focused on healthcare leadership development through research, education, and the Health Leadership Competency Model. It overlaps directly with MHEI's mission to build leadership capability across healthcare organizations, though at a national rather than regional scope.
• Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA): HFMA is a membership organization for healthcare finance leaders offering education, certification, and training. While focused on finance rather than general leadership, it serves the same healthcare administrative audience with comparable membership and professional development formats.
• Maryland Hospital Association (MHA): MHA is the Maryland state hospital association that serves many of the same member organizations as MHEI and offers leadership programming, advocacy, and education. It is a regional peer operating in the same Maryland healthcare market with overlapping membership.
• American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE): ACHE is the leading professional society for healthcare executives, providing education, credentialing, and leadership development. It is a broader but comparable peer in healthcare leadership development, addressing a similar buyer (hospital executives) with educational programming.

Broad incumbents

• Studer Group (Huron): Studer Group, now part of Huron Consulting, provides healthcare-specific leadership and organizational performance coaching at national scale. It competes with MHEI for healthcare leadership development engagements, particularly coaching and leadership academies, with broader geographic reach.

• American Hospital Association (AHA): AHA is the national trade association for hospitals, offering leadership education, certification, and workforce programs. It is a much larger incumbent serving similar buyers (hospital executives) but as part of a broader advocacy and policy mandate.
