MHE Week in Review - Emerging Leaders

Author(s)Logan Lutton

Here’s what you missed this week on Managed Healthcare Executive.

Each Sunday we feature a highlight reel of various articles posted on our website that week.

This week we began our rollout of Emerging Leaders in Healthcare. Every year, Managed Healthcare Executive® (MHE) showcases emerging leaders in healthcare who are taking on challenges by setting new standards and driving innovation with their strong values, visionary ideas and relentless dedication. Colleagues and other leaders nominate candidates, and the editors of MHE select candidates from the submitted nominations. This year, we had 14 winners! Here is part one in no particular order.

We’ll be back on Monday morning with more fresh content!
