CT Health Foundation - Findings from a 10-Year Evaluation of a Health Leadership Fellows Program

In late 2014 the Connecticut Health Foundation (CT Health) commissioned an in-depth evaluation of its Health Leadership Fellows Program (HLFP). This signature program had been running for a decade and it was time to determine its impact and effectiveness.

As a learning organization, CT Health believed it was important to undergo this important process. While several foundation-led leadership programs across the country reached a similar milestone around the same time, we understand from our philanthropic colleagues that commissioning an outcomes evaluation while pausing the program to reflect and redesign is somewhat unusual. We engaged the Innovation Network, a nonprofit evaluation firm that has been working with us since 2010, to conduct the study.
