Tomorrow’s healthcare leaders are learning the ropes today at Torrance Memorial. Through our Master of Health Administration (MHA) Residency Program, students gain hands-on experience working alongside senior leadership—helping them understand the complex decisions that shape patient care, hospital operations and the future of healthcare.

“Training MHA residents is a great way to give back and help leave a legacy of future leaders in health care,” says Torrance Memorial President and CEO Keith Hobbs. “It also creates a pipeline for filling positions that help us move our organization forward.”

Since launching in 2022, the program has already helped shape the careers of emerging healthcare administrators—with several residents going on to join the Torrance Memorial team full time.

Get a closer look at how this program is preparing the next generation of healthcare leaders—and why it matters for the future of care in our community.
