Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health has again been named one of the most influential people in healthcare by Modern Healthcare magazine.
The publication released its list of “The 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare of 2023” in its Dec. 4 issue. Dowing has consistently ranked among the top leaders in healthcare in the annual list, and was named the most influential in 2022. This is the 17th year he has been named to the list.
“It is an incredible honor to once again be named one of the most influential people in healthcare by Modern Healthcare,” Dowilng said,. “But it is an honor that is not mine alone. I share it with the tens of thousands of people at Northwell Health who work every day to not only care for our most critical patients, but to raise the health of the communities we call home. Healthcare is about more than just what happens in our hospitals – it’s about how we live our lives every day. It’s why we strive to end gun violence in our communities, and to make sure our children are as healthy and safe as can be.”
The Covid-19 epidemic and the plague of gun vioence are two topics where the Northport resident has won recognition. He treats gun violence as a public health crisis.
“The 2023 honorees on our 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare reflect the providers, insurers, technology firms, government leaders, investors and others who have made oversized contributions to the industry in the past year,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “Our ranked list honors the C-suite decision-makers using their clout and influence to lead their organizations and make sweeping changes that affect patient care.”
Northwell also works to help people in need around the world.
