Welcome to the Top 25 Minority Executives recognition program. The leadership of any industry should be reflective of its customers. Nowhere is this imperative more critical than in the very human business of healthcare. The diversity of this country is one of its greatest strengths, at its best, a model for a creative use of difference in the world. Ensuring that those who guide the institutions of American healthcare understand and also represent the diversity of this country is important. That's why we take pride in honoring the top 25 minority healthcare executives who are making a positive difference in the industry
