Chief executive officer Juan N. Babauta of the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. is one of several state health officials who were recently accepted to the State Health Leadership Initiative of the Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education.
Saipan Tribune learned that State Health Leadership Initiative program director Horace Ling informed Babauta of his acceptance to the “exciting professional development opportunity” which will be held from July 29 to Aug. 3.
Babauta said yesterday that he submitted an application after receiving an invitation to the program.
“We look at it as a continuing education that would give me experience to enhance my ability to be an effective administrator,” said Babauta at the presentation ceremony of donated linens from Tan Holdings.
According to its website, Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education provides leaders in government, corporate and nonprofit sectors with the needed tools to address the most pressing issues in public leadership.
Its State Health Leadership Initiative is designed for state health officials to become better administrators, policy makers, and protectors of the public’s health.
Babauta, a former governor, last year became the highest ranking official of the Healthcare Corp., which took over the operations of the former Department of Public Health.
