I can think
of no other organization that has proved to be a more worthwhile investment of our time and resources.
I highly recommend
the Academy's activities to other organizations.


— Steven Epstein, Founder and Senior Partner, Epstein Becker & Green, 2001







This was my first experience with the Academy for International Health studies with my Sweden visit. I was extremely impressed by the Academy and organization of the activities. Meeting others from around the world that share common healthcare challenges and issues was also very informative. I really look forward to participating in the next trip and plan to encourage others within my organization and other healthcare executives to participate.


— LLoyd Dean, President and CEO, Catholic Healthcare West, 2004




... I can't think of any better opportunity I have had in my 24 years in this industry to network with fellow CEOs and the trip's Patrons. Not only was I able to renew and strengthen old relationships, but I made several new friends in the health industry.

— Mickey Herbert, Chief Executive Officer, Physicians Health Services & Chair of the Board, American Association of Health Plans, 1997


"The setting and accommodations were great, but the opportunity to learn about another healthcare system was even better. Argentina has many of the same problems as we have, (and in some areas a few more) - but what was most interesting were the areas where their efforts and performance surpassed that of the "average American hospital. It was an eye-opener. Conclusion: We can all do better, and we can, without any doubt, learn from one another."

— Woody A. Myers Jr., MD Former Chief Medical Officer, Wellpoint, 2005
