To help educate future healthcare leaders, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. is providing support to the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) as a corporate donor for the Fund for Innovation in Healthcare Leadership. Toshiba is underwriting scholarships to ACHE's Executive Program over the next three years, enabling 60 healthcare executives to access education on leadership, innovation and management for the future.
