    The roller-coaster ride of the COVID-19 pandemic—now more than 18 months long and counting—has tested leaders in all sectors of the healthcare industry and at all levels.

    The men and women who make up this year’s class of the Top 25 Emerging Leaders have certainly risen to the challenges. Even early in their careers, many have impressive track records of innovation and accomplishment predating the pandemic.

    The short profiles of this year’s honorees, all age 40 or under, display the breadth of diversity and talent in this generation of healthcare leadership. Congratulations to all.
