Grand Valley State University’s MHA program earned CAHME reaccreditation for eight years, recognizing its commitment to healthcare leadership education.
SPRING HOUSE, PA, UNITED STATES, June 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) Board of Directors approved the reaccreditation of Grand Valley State University’s MHA program for an eight-year term.
