Supporting Healthcare Leaders in Tumultuous Times - Deborah Bowen, President and CEO of the American College of Healthcare Executives

How will the healthcare system navigate unprecedented workforce and financial challenges? What can be done about staff and leader burnout? How can healthcare systems increase diversity and equity? These are the types of big picture questions Deborah Bowen and her colleagues confront at the American College of Healthcare Executives, an international society of more than 48,000 executives in hospitals, healthcare systems and other healthcare organizations. After nearly three decades with the organization, Bowen has a deeply informed take on the kinds of support leaders need in motivating teams to realize their vision. But she is also quick to point out that change in healthcare is not just about who is sitting in the C-suite. “What I love most about healthcare is there are very influential people all throughout the organization. I think anybody who really has the intention to be a leader can be a leader,” she tells host Shiv Gaglani. Don’t miss this chance to hear from someone who has been named one of the most influential people in healthcare about COVID’s impact, why she’s excited about the future of the field and what emerging healthcare professionals can do to change the system.
