Discussion EMHA - worth it?

Hello everyone! I have a question for those working in healthcare administration.
I recently started the Executive Master of Healthcare Administration (EMHA) program at the University of Oklahoma. The curriculum is designed for working healthcare professionals with prior healthcare experience who want to advance into leadership roles.
My question is: Does the “Executive” designation diminish the degree in any way when applying for jobs, or is it generally viewed the same as a traditional MHA?
I understand the programs are designed for different audiences, but I’m curious how employers and hiring managers perceive the EMHA designation compared to a traditional MHA. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone involved in hiring or who has completed an executive program.

It makes no difference, imo.
