Healthcare CEOs share 2015 moments that stood out

Michael Walter | | Health Exec | Management

Becker’s Hospital Review received feedback from 20 CEOs in the healthcare industry about which event in 2015 fascinated them the most.

The answers ranged from one sentence to a few paragraphs, from something specifically related to healthcare to a more general news story. It’s certainly worth going through and reading each one.

For example, here’s Lynn Nicholas, Massachusetts Hospital Association president and CEO:

“The King v. Burwell debate before the Supreme Court, which was resolved in June,” Nicholas answered. “In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts we believe strongly in the obligation to provide healthcare coverage for all citizens, having done so since 2006. It was fascinating to watch the arguments unfold, hoping that reasoned law would trump politics in this watershed decision. The fact that naysayers are still tilting at the same windmill with different lances deflects from the task at hand of improving access to care for millions of deserving citizens.”
