Undergraduate: Michigan State University, 2018
Graduate Degree and Program: MHA, Grand Valley State University, concentration in Finance 2022
Why did you pursue a fellowship? I worked in the Public Behavioral Health industry in the State of Michigan, for a community-based organization and payer of behavioral health services for 3 years as a health care finance data analyst. All my work was centered around finances, it did not focus on the patients that received services through our network and the daily operations required to provide those services. I chose to pursue this fellowship to enhance my ability to understand all aspects around delivering high quality patient care, to be the most well-rounded administrator that I can become. Since this fellowship is a 2-year program, it gives me even more opportunities than most fellowships to learn from leaders at Froedtert ThedaCare and more exposure to individuals in our network to find an opportunity that is right for my development.

Why did you pursue a fellowship? In general, an administrative fellowship alone provides invaluable opportunities and real-life exposure to the health care system, health care professionals and patients. At the Froedtert & MCW health network in particular, the possibilities are endless for getting involved in any of the specialties and services that are available to patients. Additionally, it's clear that I have no shortage of access to senior leaders across both institutions. Everybody I have met so far has wanted me to thrive both personally and professionally, especially all of the former fellows and executive sponsors that I have connected with. The Froedtert & MCW health network truly cares about providing the fellows a comprehensive, unique and tailored experience that helps foster growth and relationships that will last for my entire career.

Why did you pursue a fellowship? I chose to pursue an administrative fellowship to gain real-world experience that would complement my academic experience and deepen my understanding of health care systems. The Froedtert & MCW program stood out because of the two-year format that offers career exploration, broad exposure to an academic health system, strong mentorship and the chance to take on meaningful responsibilities through projects and an interim role.
Haley Fleckenstein (she/her)
Undergraduate: University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2022
Graduate Degree and Program: MPH, University of Minnesota School of Public Health in Minneapolis, MN, 2025
Why did you pursue a fellowship? I pursued an administrative fellowship to take a deep dive into health care operations and learn how a health system functions. A fellowship is an incredible opportunity to learn from health care leaders and develop my skills to be an effective leader in the future. The Froedtert & MCW health network is an extremely supportive environment to be in, and the fellowship program allows learners to gain access to the entire system and explore their passions. This fellowship will equip me with a comprehensive understanding of our current health care landscape, and I have already felt how invested the program executive sponsors and leaders at the Froedtert & MCW health network are in my learning and personal development. I am eager to learn how my unique abilities can be developed and utilized in the Froedtert & MCW health network throughout the two-year program.
