Dr. Jonathan Perlin
President of clinical services and chief medical officer, HCA Healthcare
Before helping direct HCA's clinical efforts on coronavirus, Perlin oversaw initiatives that continued to push impressive metrics across the chain: a 23% increase in its sepsis survival rate, a 39-minute median for door-to-needle time for stroke care (60 minutes is national target), a maternal mortality rate of 4.2 per 100,000, compared with the national rate of 14.2 per 100,000, and more.
