Annette Walker
President, City of Hope Orange County
“It’s time to think seriously about changing the way we lead,” Walker wrote in an October Modern Healthcare commentary. She called on fellow executives to “step back and look at a workforce as individuals with a diverse set of talents, desires and needs rather than an entity.” Under her leadership, City of Hope is investing $1 billion in a new campus that aims to reimagine cancer care. And despite the pandemic, the organization says it is on track to meet key milestones.
