ACHE was founded in 1933 as the American College of Hospital Administrators (ACHA) by a group of hospital administrators seeking to promote professionalism and advance the field of hospital management.[3] The organization rebranded to its current name, the American College of Healthcare Executives, in the mid-1980s.[4] ACHE is a 501(c)(6) organization.
Today, ACHE is focused on "advancing integrity, lifelong learning, leadership skills and diversity and inclusion" and offering certifications for experience healthcare administrators.[5] In 2022, ACHE had $12 million in revenue, and its Foundation arm had $14 million in revenue.[6][7]
