By stimulating students and professionals in the Northeast Florida community, HASA's fundraising initiatives support member attendance at the ACHE Annual Congress on Healthcare Leadership each year to expand knowledge and further develop leadership skills.

Cultural Diversity

At the University of North Florida, we embrace the diversity and culture of our student body and faculty. The Department of Health Administration supports global health by offering study abroad trips each spring in addition to offering a Global Health certificate. In March 2017, health administration students traveled to Hungary and Austria to learn about their healthcare systems. In 2018, students will have an opportunity to visit London to gain a better understanding of the United Kingdom's universal healthcare system.
