Natalia Cineas
Senior vice president and chief nurse executive, NYC Health + Hospitals
Cineas overseas more than 8,000 nurses. One of her top priorities has been retaining and recruiting nurses to the large public health system. She oversaw the Nurse4NYC campaign, which sought to bring nurses to several high-need areas, including ambulatory care, trauma and behavioral health. The health system in late 2019 struck a new contract with the New York State Nurses Association that included wage increases and an agreement to work together on nurse-patient staffing ratios.
