236 Women Hospital and Health System Presidents and CEOs to Know | 2026
Leadership in healthcare has always demanded vision and an unrelenting commitment to the communities being served. We’re recognizing the women on this list for possessing these qualities and more.
Becker’s is proud to spotlight these remarkable hospital and health system presidents and CEOs, women who are expanding access to care, advancing equity and inclusion, and driving meaningful improvements in care. Their influence extends far beyond their own institutions, reaching policy conversations, community partnerships, patient bedsides and more.
Note: This list was compiled based on nominations and editorial research. This list is not exhaustive, nor is it an endorsement of included presidents, CEOs, hospitals, health systems or associated healthcare providers. Leaders cannot pay for inclusion on this list. We extend a special thank you to Rhoda Weiss for her contributions to this list. Leaders are presented in alphabetical order.
