INDIANAPOLIS – Christopher A. DiGiusto, director of product and business development at St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers, has been named a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives.
DiGiusto received the credential after fulfilling several requirements, including passing a comprehensive examination, meeting academic and experiential criteria, earning continuing education credits and demonstrating community involvement.
“By becoming a Fellow and simultaneously earning board certification from the ACHE, health-care leaders show they are committed to providing high-quality service to their patients and communities,” said ACHE President Thomas C. Dolan.
The ACHE only has 7,500 fellows nationwide and they must re-certify every three years.
At St. Francis, DiGiusto is responsible for business implementation and development projects with physician practices. He has been associated with the hospital since 2003 and has held several management and consulting positions. He also has served in roles at Community Health Network and the Cincinnati Foundation for Biomedical Research and Education.
An Indianapolis resident, DiGiusto earned his undergraduate degree and master’s of health services administration at Xavier University in Cincinnati where he was an honors student. He’s also an alumnus of Roncalli High School.
