100 Most Influential People in Healthcare - 2024

Shaw, who has held the reins at Altamonte Springs, Florida-based AdventHealth since 2016, has championed culture-building at the 51-hospital system. The organization has sought to align its priorities with those of its employees; in the past year, it has reduced clinical turnover by nearly three percentage points while attracting 27,000 new team members. It also offers educational assistance, with more than 10,000 workers — the majority of whom are ethnically diverse — actively pursuing professional development. Shaw has also stressed the importance of fighting inertia as a large health system. In 2023, AdventHealth launched the Primary Health Division, with a senior care division expected to open 30 to 40 clinics in the next few years. Meanwhile, the organization has rolled out more than 13,000 virtual care “smart rooms” in all acute-care settings.
