Gino Santorio, executive vice president, chief operating officer; Alan Goldsmith, executive vice president, chief financial officer; and Diana Arteaga, Esq., vice president, government relations and community affairs; were acknowledged as the next generation of healthcare leaders.
Individuals on the list are nominated based on their achievements within executive positions at hospitals, health systems and health IT companies across the country. They were recognized for their innovative approach to patient care and health system improvement.
