Nominations sought for Top 25 Minority Leaders recognition

Modern Healthcare is accepting nominations for the Top 25 Minority Executives in Healthcare awards for 2020. The biennial program recognizes leading minority healthcare executives who are influencing policy and care delivery across the country. In their roles, they’re also working to nurture and advance diversity and inclusion in their organizations.

Nominations for the program, sponsored by the Furst Group and NuBrick Partners, will be accepted from all sectors of the industry, notably hospitals and health systems, physician organizations, payers, associations, government, vendors and suppliers. 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 multiracial.

Nomination criteria include: steps the nominee took this year to help the organization achieve or exceed financial, operational and clinical goals; specific actions the nominee has taken to promote racial equity in the C-suite, including hiring or promoting minority leaders; and steps the nominee has taken to establish or contribute to a culture of innovation and transformation

The deadline for nominations is Dec. 2. Winners will be featured in the Feb. 17, 2020 issue and in a special presentation online. To submit a nomination and for more information on criteria, entry fees and required ModernHealthcare.com/Top25Minority. materials, please visit
