Susan Grant
Executive vice president and chief nursing officer,
Beaumont Health
In her role at the large Michigan health system, Grant oversees more than 10,000 nurses. She’s been at the forefront of Beaumont’s COVID-19 response as Michigan experienced multiple surges throughout the pandemic. That includes orchestrating nurse staffing for overwhelmed hospitals. COVID wasn’t Grant’s first experience dealing with a public health crisis either. She held a similar role at Emory Healthcare in 2014 when the Atlanta-based health system cared for the nation’s first four Ebola patients.
