The American College of Healthcare Executives of New Jersey (ACHE-NJ) is a professional organization for those who direct management services and programs within health care facilities, networks and related organizations. With over 600 members, ACHE-NJ is recognized as a Healthcare Executive Group of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), and recipient of the 1994 ACHE Affiliated Group Award.

The ACHE-NJ supports activities to assist members in advancement in the ACHE. Previously, the ACHE Board of Trustees Advancement examination was sponsored and field-tested by ACHE-NJ Women in Healthcare Administration and the two Regents Advisory Councils of New Jersey. College programs are provided at convenient New Jersey locations for the benefit of our membership.

Other ACHE-NJ programs include an Employment Opportunity Service, a Healthcare Administration Scholarship Program as well as a Distinguished Service Award Program. Each year the group hosts a Golf Outing to support Wishes Come True, a program to grant the wishes of chronically ill children in our communities. This year we will be holding the outing on Tuesday May 11, 2010. (Golf Outing Information)
