Our November 12 MiniSummit has 4.5 hours of ACHE In-Person Education Credit and 3 hours of CE credit with allied organizations. This is our last in-person credit event of the year. Lunch and breaks are included in the registration fee.

Event Overview:

Sanford G. Duke, MD, MBA, FACHE, President of ACHE of Georgia, opens the day with a welcome and introduces our panel moderator.

Our morning panel discussion, “Marketing and Money: Linking New Products, Services and ROI,” explores how healthcare organizations connect strategic marketing investment to measurable return. 

After our panel session, we will have lunch, our end-of-year ACHE of Georgia business meeting, including the 2027 Board election, and an introduction to our incoming Board.

Following lunch, Attila J. Hertelendy, Ph.D, will lead our ACHE Customized Learning Speaker session, “Strategic AI Implementation for HealthCare Leaders: Transforming HC delivery and operations.”

10:00 AM to 11:30 AM Panel Discussion:

“Marketing and Money: Linking New Products, Services and ROI"

When developing new products and services, healthcare professionals must have a comprehensive understanding of their consumers—their needs, values, and preferences. Accordingly, a well-thought-out marketing strategy is vital to the success of your organization.
