2020 POWER 25 — HEALTH CARE
Spotlighting healthcare leadership
in times of crisis
T
here has been no sector more important in
2020 than the healthcare industry.
Hospitals, physician
practices and health
policy experts have been on the
frontlines of dealing with the
coronavirus pandemic, a once-in-a-
century event that has infected mil-
lions around the country and killed
thousands of Connecticut residents.
Despite the untold economic
damage and human suffering
caused by COVID-19, Connecticut
has done a better job than most
other states in controlling the
virus in recent months.
That's thanks to the leadership of many people in
government and the healthcare industry, who have
been working cooperatively to both prevent and con-
tain the spread of the virus.
In this week's issue, Hartford Business Journal is
publishing its inaugural Power 25 Health Care list,
which identifies leaders who are significantly impact-
ing the industry and public health.
This isn't an awards section. HBJ's Power 25 Health
Care class was chosen and ranked
by HBJ's news team. To make the
list, individuals must not only be
in a position of power, they need
to wield it in such a way to have
an outsized impact on our com-
munity.
The rankings include a mix of
established players as well as some
fresh faces to our region. A prefer-
ence was placed on those who have
played central roles in the state's
response to the pandemic.
That's why the list includes government officials
and public health experts who typically might not be
considered industry power players.
As this is our first time doing this special issue,
we're curious to know what you think. Feel free to send
feedback. Power 25 Health Care will be back next year
with some new names and fresh faces, so be prepared
to make suggestions.
