The program honors individual executives for their volunteer work to improve the health and well-being of people, patients and communities. Through Sept. 21, readers can vote for the executive whom they feel most exemplifies the award. The voting results will count toward 50% of the determination of a winner and four honorable mentions with the other 50% controlled by Modern Healthcare.
