Modern Healthcare annually recognizes leaders who are instituting innovation and leading transformative programs that improve care by achieving measurable results and contributing to the clinical and financial goals of their organization.

“The healthcare industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by innovations in digital health technology and demand for alternative care models. This year’s Top 25 Innovators not only have the courage to try new ideas and approaches, but they also have the vision to turn them into tangible improvements in patient outcomes and experiences, population health, efficiency and cost-effectiveness,” Fawn Lopez, Publisher shares. “Their innovative leadership serves as a model to aspire to, and we congratulate them for their achievements.”

“What an honor it is to be named one of Modern Healthcare’s 2022 Top Innovators,” said Quirk. “When I joined the CareMax family, one of my many goals was to take my strategic vision and technological expertise and apply it to socially responsible initiatives.
