About Health Value Academy
Graduate-Level Learning. Practical Impact.
Rooted in two decades of work in creating and implementing the value-based health care movement, Health Value Academy equips health care organizations and professionals with the knowledge and skills to lead value-based health care transformation.
Our faculty and leadership pioneered VBHC Education at Dartmouth College and the University of Texas at Austin with programs ranging from executive education and workshops to master’s degree programs. In additional to academic work defining the field of value, we have extensive hands on experience designing, teaching, and implementing value-based health care initiatives globally across academic, governmental, provider, payer, and industry settings. We have lead or supported more than 45 health care transformation projects.
Today, Health Value Academy delivers practical, globally informed learning experiences to health care leaders and organizations seeking the knowledge, tools, and confidence to improve outcomes, lower costs, and create value for patients.
Our Four Pillars:
01 Transformational Learning
Change the way you think—not just what you know.
Our programs shift mindsets, challenge assumptions, and build the confidence to lead change. Through active learning, facilitated discussions, and peer-to-peer collaboration, participants don't simply absorb information—they develop new ways of thinking about value-based health care.
02 Built by VBHC Trailblazers
Built on decades of real-world transformation experience.
Our faculty have spent nearly 20 years shaping the field of value-based health care — developing pioneering graduate programs, leading health care transformation projects around the world, and advising organizations across provider, payer, government, and industry settings. Learn from faculty who have done the work, not just studied it.
03 Apply What You Learn
Practical frameworks for immediate impact.
Our programs are built for implementation. Through proven frameworks, real-world case studies, and practical tools, you'll gain approaches you can immediately apply to improve outcomes and advance transformation within your organization.
04 Join a Global Community
Learn alongside leaders from around the world.
Our programs bring together health care professionals from more than 40 countries, creating a rich environment for collaboration, shared learning, and lasting professional connections.
Our Story
Health Value Academy was founded on a simple belief: theory is important, but health care leaders need practical skills and implementation frameworks to make Value-Based Health Care a reality.
Through the academic programs we create, and through our work supporting organizations around the world, we saw a glaring need for practical, executive-level training that was more accessible, affordable, and immediately applicable in the real world.
Health Value Academy delivers world-class education in a flexible, concise, focused, and accessible format. Our programs are rooted in the case studies of transformative leaders whom we know and with whom we have worked closely. They build on proven implementation frameworks that we’ve created through our work with care delivery and med tech companies, and they deliver interactive learning experiences that equip participants to translate ideas into action.
Today, our programs serve learners around the world who are committed to improving outcomes and advancing Value-Based Health Care.
