50 Most Influential Clinical Executives
Rank: 23
Dr. Joanne Conroy
President and CEO,
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health
Under a major restructuring, Conroy was able to turn around the Lebanon, N.H.-based health system’s finances. She led an expansion of operations, too, including the recent groundbreaking of a 90,000-square foot ambulatory center in Manchester, which is slated to open in 2021. In January, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health signed a letter of intent to merger with GraniteOne Health, which would create an eight-hospital not-for-profit system spanning New Hampshire and Vermont. Conroy is a vocal advocate for increasing the role of women in leadership, including being a member of Women of Impact, a group of healthcare executives addressing complex problems in the industry.
