Mission Ambassador Program
You can become an “insider” at Mission Hospitals

The Mission Ambassador Program offers participants an opportunity to gain valuable insight and knowledge into the quality and availability of healthcare in Western North Carolina.

Ambassadors learn about technology such as the CyberKnife®, the latest advance in non-invasive radiation treatment.

The program, which involves a commitment of approximately 15 hours over a four month period, provides an “insiders” view of Mission Hospitals through presentations by our CEO and Leadership Team along with in-depth tours of the hospital campuses led by various physicians and department directors.

Mission’s size, scope and reach touch hundreds of thousands of lives each year. We continuously strive to stay on the leading edge, implement new technology and update our facilities to serve the needs of our growing community.

Whether you are new to the area or a longtime resident, we invite you to join us and deepen your understanding of Mission Hospitals, the region’s major medical center and one of the nation’s Top 100 Hospitals.

As an Ambassador you will have input, involvement and pride in building upon Mission’s 123-year tradition of service to Western North Carolina.

Ambassadors tour areas of the hospital such as the Heart Center. Mission has been recognized as a Top 100 Heart Hospital for the last four years.

Each Ambassador acts as a representative of Mission Hospitals in our community and helps to build relationships that encourage involvement and investment.

As of June 2008, over 140 individuals have graduated from the program.

“Mission Hospitals is one of our region’s most valuable assets and is often one of our region’s best kept secrets,” said Mission Healthcare Foundation Trustee Bonnie Spradling. “Ambassadors can share their newly acquired knowledge with their peers, colleagues, civic organizations and others and take an active role in advocating for the health of our citizens.”
