Lead Boldly. Empower Fearlessly. Build Your Legacy.
At Legacy Healthcare Consulting, we know leadership isn’t a title—it’s a choice. That’s why we created the LEGACY Leadership Academy: a dynamic leadership development program built by leaders, for leaders, in post-acute and long-term care.
Whether you’re managing teams in a skilled nursing setting, guiding operations, leading clinical care, or simply want to grow where you’re planted—this academy is your launchpad.
We believe leadership should be clear, personal, and practical. That’s what LEGACY delivers.
What is the LEGACY Leadership Academy?
More than a course, this is a community. A culture-building, accountability-shaping, people-first experience that helps leaders grow through clarity, coaching, and connection.
Led by Chris Ross—post-acute leadership expert, author of LEGACY Leadership, and host of Pillar Talk—this 8-week program is built around our proven framework: the LEGACY model.
