FierceHealthcare's 2020 Women of Influence Awards

By all measures, 2020 has been an outlier of a year.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed everything about how all organizations — especially those in healthcare — run their businesses.

While the health crisis has created financial winners and losers over the last several months, it's presented hurdles that have demanded nimbleness from leaders across the industry. In this spirit, we are recognizing ten women who have risen to the challenges posed by COVID, as well as played a role in positioning their respective companies to be where they are today.

The women represented here come from all corners of the healthcare sector from major health systems to physicians' offices, major payers, retailers and tech companies.

Each has played a critical role in helping their organization navigate the rocky terrain presented by the pandemic while staying true to their mission of improving access and paving the way for others behind them.
