Founded in 1968, NAHSE has become the premier professional association for black executives in the healthcare field.

Its leadership and members are administrators, practitioners and educators, working in a wide-variety of healthcare organizations. NAHSE was established for the purpose of promoting the advancement and development of these leaders and elevating the quality of healthcare services rendered to minority and underserved communities.

Since its inception, NAHSE has sponsored and participated in local and national programs designed to improve quality, access, and availability of health services, and to expand educational opportunities in the field of health services administration.
