50 Most Influential Physician Executives – 2016
Rank: 9
Dr. David Feinberg
President and CEO, Geisinger Health
Dr. David Feinberg has served as president and CEO at Geisinger Health System just since May 2015, but he's already making his mark at the integrated organization. He's tested a warranty program that offers a money-back guarantee to patients for some healthcare services if the system doesn't meet their expectations. And he's doubled-down on the system's approach emphasizing the patient experience, telling Modern Healthcare last year that "we want to take patient-centeredness to the next level ' We want to make our transitions in care remarkably smooth. We want patients to understand their bill." Before joining Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger, Feinberg was CEO of the UCLA Health System in Los Angeles for four years. He is board-certified in psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry and addiction psychiatry.
