MHA degree

I'm an occupational therapist and work in psychiatry (inpatient/outpatient hospital setting short-term setting). I have an MS in OT. I'm a new grad, so I am focusing on gaining clinical experience. I enjoy my job, but I'm fascinated by the administrative and programmatic aspect of healthcare and systems. I look at leadership roles within the major health system I work for and they are largely designated for RNs (e.g. inpatient nurse managers). However, I do see leadership/program administratrative roles for OTs psychiatric outpatient programs (definitely an interest), skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities (not so much). I had to take a business management class for my OT degree and loved it, even though I didn't expect to at all. Any thoughts? Prior to OT school, I worked for a research center based at a public health graduate school.
