Ron Anderson, President and CEO of Parkland Health and Hospital System, Dallas, Texas, has been voted by the readers of Modern Physician as the most powerful physician executive in healthcare.
More than 1,100 nominations were received for this yearÂ’s ballot, with more than 3,100 votes cast to determine the final 50 Most Powerful Physician Executives. James Mongan, President and CEO of Partners HealthCare System in Boston came in second, while Sen. William Frist (R-Tenn.) ranked third.
“It is a validation that things you stand for mean something to people. It is the community accolades that are very important, particularly from peers, which is why being on this list matters a lot,” said Ron Anderson in response to his number one ranking.
The ranking of the 50 Most Powerful Physician Executives appears in the July 2005 issue of Modern Physician.
"Without much national notice or fanfare, physicians have assumed a number of key leadership positions within and outside of the healthcare industry," said David Burda, editor of Modern Physician. "Our readers have noticed, and this list represents just 50 of the thousands of physician executives working to make the healthcare system better for patients and their families.”
