Health. Community. Advancement. Flexibility.

These are the keys to attracting and engaging employees at the top organizations on Modern Healthcare’s 2022 Best Places to Work list.

Facing a new set of challenges and a rapidly changing industry landscape, forward-thinking employers have moved past dealing with the chaos wrought on their workforce by the COVID-19 pandemic. They are looking ahead and having conversations throughout the layers of their organizations to find the best way to recruit, retain and reward employees.

The healthcare industry continues to grapple with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including caregiver burnout, staff shortages and financial challenges. But even during the worst of the crisis, clinical leaders found ways to adapt, innovate and focus on the true bottom line: the patient. Honorees on this year’s list of the 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives are perfect examples of such resilience.

The unparalleled demands made on healthcare organizations during the past two years required strong, engaged boards that could navigate new terrain and develop policy that not only dealt with current events but also shaped a healthy future for patients, employees, organizations and their communities.

That’s why Modern Healthcare late last year called for nominations for its rebranded Excellence in Governance awards program.

There’s no shortage of innovation in healthcare. Never has been. And that’s certainly been the case these past two years. Doing business as usual during a global pandemic wasn’t an option because lives were at stake. It required new products, new processes, new technologies and new thinking. As you’ll see by reading the profiles, transformation is alive and well in healthcare.

The Health Care Hall of Fame award is one of healthcare industry’s most prestigious honors. A partnership between Modern Healthcare and the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), the program was created to recognize the men and women who have made extraordinary strides, outstanding and lasting contributions to the healthcare industry.
