Innovation in healthcare can take many forms. The individuals and organizations named to Modern Healthcare’s Innovators Awards list this year have one thing in common: They think outside the box and are propelling the industry forward.

INDIVIDUAL HONOREES

The 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare honors the leaders shaping the industry through policies, regulations, lobbying and business decisions. The executives guide their organizations and discern where to make investments to best serve the public while also boosting their bottom lines to keep the doors open.

The Healthcare Marketing Impact Awards are designed to recognize healthcare's best advertising, marketing, promotion and communication campaigns on and across all media platforms. The awards program, presented with Ad Age, honors campaigns that advance efforts to deliver high-quality, affordable and accessible healthcare; promote the health of individual patients, groups and communities; and help organizations thrive and grow in today's rapidly changing healthcare environment. (N/A is used to indicate "not applicable.")

Transparency, compassion and trust are the hallmarks of any good relationship — including those between employers and employees. The winning companies of this year’s Best Places to Work in Healthcare awards keep their staffs engaged by offering expansive benefits, flexible schedules and the chance to give back to their communities. The honorees also set high standards of integrity and accountability, while providing opportunities for growth.
