Nominations sought for Top 25 Minority Executives in Healthcare recognition

Modern Healthcare is now accepting nominations for the Top 25 Minority Executives in Healthcare for 2018. The biennial program recognizes leading minority healthcare executives who are influencing policy and care delivery models across the country. In doing so, they are also highlighting the continued need to nurture and advance diversity in their organizations.

Nominations for the program, sponsored by Furst Group and NuBrick Partners, will be accepted from all sectors of the industry, including hospitals, health systems, physician organizations, insurance, government, vendors and supplier organizations, and patients’ rights groups. To be eligible, the candidate must be considered a minority based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s definition, which includes being African-American, American Indian, Asian, Latino, Pacific Islander or multi-racial.

For each nomination there is a $100 entry fee, which must be paid upon submission. Each nominee will be reviewed by a panel of industry judges and the senior editors of Modern Healthcare. Criteria include: specific actions the nominee took in the past year to help the organization achieve or exceed financial, operational and clinical goals; and specific steps the nominee has taken to establish or contribute to a culture of innovation and transformation.

The deadline for nominations is Jan. 8. Winners will be profiled in the Feb. 26 issue and online. For more information and to submit a nomination, visit ModernHealthcare.com/Top25Minority.
