The Modern Healthcare Hall of Fame is the industry's most prestigious recognition program. It's a joint partnership between Modern Healthcare and the American College of Healthcare Executives. The program was created to honor the men and women who have made outstanding contributions to the healthcare industry. Each year, two to three healthcare luminaries are inducted into the Modern Healthcare Hall of Fame. Since 1988,
ninety-five healthcare visionaries, original thinkers and leaders have been honored with this prestigious distinction.
To recognize the honorees, profiles of the 2013 inductees were published in the March 11, 2013 issue of
Modern Healthcare. Inductees were also recognized in-person at a reception and gala held jointly by
Modern Healthcare and the ACHE on March 10, 2013, at the Hilton Chicago. Additionally, plaques were created to honor the inductees and are prominently displayed at Pennsylvania Hospital, the nation's first hospital founded by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Bond.
A panel of distinguished healthcare industry judges will choose the winners. The judges will review the nominations based on a set of 10 eligibility and award criteria. Find the complete list of criteria in the FAQs section below.
