Check out these profiles of notable women healthcare executives serving in the C-suite.
According to a recent analysis from McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.Org, women only make up 30% of the healthcare C-suite, while accounting for two-thirds of entry-level healthcare roles.
In September, HealthLeaders hosted a roundtable discussion sponsored by Bank of America, where a panel of women healthcare executives discussed the opportunities and challenges of their gender in the C-suite.
In addition to the virtual event this fall, HealthLeaders highlighted notable women serving in the C-suite and interviewed them throughout 2020 to learn about their backgrounds and leadership strategies, as well as delving into their accomplishments.
Meritus Health received a shipment of Pfizerâs vaccine Thursday morning, according to Meritus spokeswoman Joelle Butler.
Meritus, east of Hagerstown, plans to start administering the vaccine to front-line hospital workers Friday morning.
The health system is following the state of Marylandâs phased plan for vaccinations. Announced earlier this month, the plan calls for first vaccinating health care workers, nursing home residents and first responders.
As more vaccines become available, doses would be provided next to people at high risk of severe illness or complications from COVID-19, then to people working in critical infrastructure roles and people at moderate risk of severe COVID-19 illness.
