    This year’s Top Diversity Leaders in Healthcare use a variety of strategies to widen access to care and build communities of wellness. In addition to the spotlighted individuals, Modern Healthcare has selected nine organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to diversity in their workforces, including at an executive and board level. Inequality in healthcare is a problem requiring creative solutions. Modern Healthcare’s Top Diversity Leaders program recognizes those forging the way.
