Fellowship Overview
The goal of the Health Innovators Fellowship is to strengthen the leadership of innovators across the United States health care ecosystem and to connect, inspire, and challenge these leaders to create new approaches to improve the health and well-being of Americans. Health Innovators Fellows are proven, highly successful entrepreneurs and innovators in the U.S. health care field who have reached a point in their lives and careers when they are ready to use their skills and experiences to “paint on a broader canvas.” Using the time-tested method of text-based dialogue and building upon the Aspen Institute's commitment to values-based, action-oriented leadership, the Fellowship offers health leaders a unique opportunity to connect with and learn from a diverse group of peers with whom they would not ordinarily interact while they undertake a personal journey that allows them to reflect on how they can have an even greater positive impact on U.S. health care.
The Health Innovators Fellowship is generously funded by Prisma Health (formerly known as Greenville Health System).
Nominations for the fifth class of Health Innovators Fellows are now closed, and nominations for the sixth class will open in late 2019. If you are interested in receiving notifications as we open nominations, please fill out this form.
About the Fellowship
Our Approach
Developing Leaders
Each class consists of 20 Fellows who participate in four seminars of 6 to 7 days each, directed by experienced Aspen Institute-certified instructors. Fellows commit to attending all four seminars in their entirety, for a total of approximately 26 days of seminar meetings. The Fellowship is advised by a six-member Board of Overseers.

Building Community
Fellows are part of a group of inspired and dedicated leaders who are changing the landscape of the U.S. health care system. These men and women are "doers" and are committed to making an impact. As Health Innovators Fellows, they are part of the larger Aspen Global Leadership Network (AGLN), a worldwide community of successful, high-integrity, entrepreneurial leaders committed to making the world a better place.

Taking Action
Each Health Innovators Fellow must commit to designing and launching a leadership venture of his or her own choosing. This initiative mobilizes Fellows’ energies, skills, and resources to address pressing U.S. health care challenges. The leadership venture requirement is integral to the Fellowship experience.
