HLF — the Healthcare Leadership Foundation — develops healthcare professionals and care teams who lead with character and keep patients at the center of every decision. Start with the open library below; go deeper with in-person programs and the free HLF Hub.
THE OPEN LIBRARY
Readings, talks, podcasts, and live conversations from the HLF community — open to everyone, and organized around the HLF leadership model so every piece builds toward becoming a stronger leader.
Strong teams don’t happen by accident. They grow through self-awareness, trust, and intentional leadership. Explore how self-leadership and meaningful relationships help teams navigate challenges and grow stronger together.

ReadingThe future doesn’t need leaders who are prepared for change. It needs leaders who can continually learn, adapt, and lead through whatever comes next.

WHAT IS HLF
To elevate the leadership culture in healthcare to enhance patient-centered care.
Healthcare asks people to lead through complexity. HLF brings character, service, and practical team leadership to that responsibility — human-centered, patient-centered, every time.
Grew out of the Feagin Leadership Program at Duke University — a decade-plus of healthcare leader development behind every cohort.
In-person cohort programs, connected before, between, and after sessions by the free HLF Hub.
Faculty of experienced healthcare leaders and executives — leadership grounded in the daily realities of healthcare.
BEYOND THE HUB
The Hub is the front door — HLF's work runs deeper. We design and deliver leadership programs with partners across healthcare, from one-day intensives to year-long cohorts.
Leadership curricula and cohort programs built for healthcare teams — from undergraduate students to senior faculty and leaders.
We work with your institution to shape a program around your people, your culture, and your goals.
HLF faculty run the in-person cohorts and sustain the learning on the Hub between sessions.
Built with partners across healthcare: academic medical centers · professional societies · industry & health tech
Partner with HLF →THE HLF MODEL
Real leader development takes three things: new knowledge, developmental experience, and reflection. One without the others fades by Monday. HLF programs are built on all three.
01
BEFORE · ON THE HUB
Leadership cases from real care settings, the HLF leadership model, and short modules that prepare you for each session.
02
TOGETHER · IN PERSON
Facilitated cohorts where you practice the hard parts: difficult conversations, team conflict, decisions under pressure — with honest feedback from faculty and peers.
03
IN PRACTICE · AT WORK
Reflection prompts, care-team feedback, and one real workplace project — so learning becomes how you actually lead.
