Premier CEO makes ‘Top 25’ list
Boosalis named among nation’s premier female health executives.
Premier Health president and CEO Mary Boosalis has been recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of its 2019 “Top 25 Women Leaders.”
The list recognizes female health care executives from across the country every two years, acknowledging executives who are influencing policy and care delivery models, according to Modern Healthcare, a health industry publication.
Boosalis has held other leadership roles at Premier Health since joining Miami Valley Hospital in 1986. She became the first woman to lead Premier Health upon being named president and CEO in 2017, according to the Dayton-based nonprofit health network.
Premier had $1.8 billion in revenue last year and operates Miami Valley Hospital, Atrium Medical Center and Upper Valley Medical Center, as well as a network of physicians practices and outpatient sites.
“Mary is a bold and visionary leader, and she surrounds herself with the best and most qualified people in the industry, leveraging their skills and abilities to make solid decisions that benefit Premier Health, our patients and the greater community,” Anita Moore, chair of Premier Health’s board of trustees, said in a statement.
“Women CEOs comprise an estimated 30 percent (at most) of the overall C-suite,” Aurora Aguilar, Modern Healthcare editor, stated. “But the executives named to this year’s Top 25 Women Leaders list exemplify how diversity results in success, both clinically and financially.”
