FACHE (Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives) is the board certification awarded by ACHE to healthcare executives who meet experience, education, and exam requirements. It signals mastery of the business, legal, financial, and strategic competencies required to lead healthcare organizations. FACHE is most valuable for hospital administrators, VP-level and C-suite healthcare executives, health system strategy officers, and healthcare consultants who want to differentiate themselves. The credential is required or preferred for many senior healthcare leadership positions at major health systems.
