CHICAGO, August 15, 2011 — To help educate future healthcare leaders, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc., is continuing its support of the Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) as a corporate donor for the Fund for Innovation in Healthcare Leadership. Starting in 2010, Toshiba is underwriting 20 scholarships each year for mid-level healthcare executives to participate in ACHE’s Executive Program. This support will continue through 2012, enabling a total of 60 healthcare executives to access education on leadership, innovation and management for the future.
