Recognizing the hospital sector’s importance to the state’s economy, a recent list of the top women-led businesses in the state awards the top three spots to Massachusetts hospitals CEOs.
The Commonwealth Institute – which for the past 20 years has devoted itself to advancing businesswomen in leadership positions – along with The Boston Globe last week released its annual list. Topping the list is Brigham Health President Elizabeth Nabel, M.D., followed at #2 by Boston Medical Center Health System President & CEO Kate Walsh, and then Boston Children’s Hospital President & CEO Sandra Fenwick. Mount Auburn Hospital President & CEO Jeanette Clough is listed at #12; Emerson Hospital President & CEO Christine Schuster at #14; Hebrew Rehabilitation Center’s President Mary Moscato at #15; New England Baptist Hospital President & CEO Trish Hannon at #16; and Partners Community Physicians Organization President Lynn Malloy Stofer at #21.
The Commonwealth Institute and Globe said that in creating the list, they looked at revenue or operating budget and other variables, including number of full-time employees in the state, workplace and management diversity, and innovative projects. They then ranked the organizations using their own formula.
