CANON AND CAHME
A shared vision for a sustainable healthcare future
For the past seven years, Canon and the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) have partnered to recognize academic programs that exemplify a deep commitment to sustainability and social responsibility in healthcare management education. This collaboration is rooted in Canon’s corporate philosophy of Kyosei—the belief that all people, regardless of background, should harmoniously live and work together for a better future.
“We’re proud to support an initiative that prepares future leaders to think broadly about sustainability—not just environmentally, but in terms of access, community impact, and long term systemic change.”
— Paul Murphy, Vice President, Major Accounts & Vertical Markets at Canon
At the 2025 ACHE Congress in Houston, Canon and CAHME proudly honored two exceptional recipients with the CAHME/Canon Award for Excellence in Sustainability in Healthcare Management Education and Practice. Florida International University’s Healthcare MBA Program was recognized for its robust integration of sustainability principles into its curriculum and community engagement efforts. In a groundbreaking collaborative effort, the award was also presented to the Healthcare Management Consortium for Planetary Health—an alliance of programs from RUSH University, University of Minnesota, Virginia Commonwealth University, and University of Toronto. Their joint application highlighted cross-institutional innovation in promoting environmental health, equity, and experiential learning.
“Healthcare and education are priorities for the Canon team,” said Paul Murphy, Vice President, Major Accounts & Vertical Markets at Canon. “We’re proud to support an initiative that prepares future leaders to think broadly about sustainability—not just environmentally, but in terms of access, community impact, and long-term systemic change.”
As CAHME continues to shape the future of healthcare education across 145 accredited programs in North America and beyond, its partnership with Canon remains a powerful reminder that sustainability is not just a goal—it’s a responsibility. Together, they are inspiring tomorrow’s leaders to reimagine healthcare as a force for good.
