APHA is proud to announce that Executive Director Georges C. Benjamin, MD was recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of the 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives for 2023. The profiles of all the honorees are featured in the June 19, 2023, issue of MH magazine and online at ModernHealthcare.com/50MostInfluential.
This program honors currently or previously licensed clinicians in executive roles who are deemed by their peers and the senior editors of Modern Healthcare to be paving the way to better health through their executive responsibility, leadership qualities, innovation, community service and achievements inside and outside of their respective organizations.
“The 50 clinical leaders we’ve recognized started as physicians or nurses, and regardless of their titles today, that strong foundation of caring for patients has benefited their organizations and communities,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “These executives are broadening access to care through expansion and embracing digital tools to make their operations more efficient and their patients more connected. They also are tackling workforce challenges by developing strategies to attract newcomers to the field. Modern Healthcare’s 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives are helping propel the industry forward.”
As executive director of APHA since 2002, Benjamin is leading the Association’s push to make America the healthiest nation. From his firsthand experience as a physician, he knows what happens when preventive care is not available and when the healthy choice is not the easy choice.
