MELVILLE, N.Y., May 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- George Mason University’s Master of Health Administration program was recognized by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) with an award sponsored by Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc.
Mason’s MHA program was honored with the CAHME/Canon Solutions America Award for Sustainability in Healthcare Management Education and Practice, citing the university’s “competency, community involvement, environmental stewardship, and accessibility in health systems management,” and awarded a grant to support new MHA program initiatives in sustainability.
CAHME is an accrediting body for academic programs that offer a professional master’s degree in healthcare management education. Every year, the organization partners with Canon Solutions America to recognize educational institutions that strive to instill ideals of sustainability and social responsibility in future healthcare leaders. This award signifies the critical role education plays in inspiring future healthcare leaders to enact positive change incorporating the ideals of cultural competency, community involvement, environmental focus, and sustainability.
“Our Master’s in Health Administration program was developed for George Mason to improve the skill, the knowledge, and the capabilities of health executives that work in healthcare systems and organizations in the Northern Virginia area,” said PJ Maddox, the Mason Department of Health Administration and Policy chair. “Recognition from CAHME, our accrediting organization, is a testament to the quality of the program and the gold standard of academic excellence.”
The program helps prepare students to take on leadership roles and serve as executive-level managers in evolving health systems, with the curriculum developed to assist in providing instruction to serve in a variety of roles as a health professional in both the public and private sectors.
George Mason University’s program can help make a positive impact towards improving healthcare outcomes, aligning with Canon Solutions America’s focus on the non-clinical application of technology for improved operational infrastructure and processes.
Canon Solutions America’s history and development as a business relies heavily on the Canon corporate DNA, which is embodied in the philosophy of Kyosei – all people, regardless of race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future. The core principles of Kyosei are a respect for humanity, an emphasis on technology’s ability to improve the world, and the importance of fostering an enterprising spirit.
Having a philosophy is one aspect of self-improvement, acting on it makes it a reality. Canon Solutions America is always looking to improve the communities in which they work and strives to motivate others to have a similar stewardship.
“We are pleased to promote the great work done by George Mason University’s Master of Health Administration program and its dedication to environmental stewardship and accessibility in health systems management,” said Peter P.
