No. 3: Brian Gragnolati

Gragnolati is an influential and respected voice in the health care conversation, both here in New Jersey and nationally. In addition to his current role as president and CEO of Atlantic Health System, which he has held since 2015, Gragnolati previously served as former chairman of the board of trustees of the American Hospital Association.

Atlantic Health System serves more than half of New Jersey, including 11 counties and a region of nearly 5 million people, caring for patients at more than 400 sites. Its facilities, most notably Morristown Medical Center, routinely earn top grades among hospitals both here and across the country.

Gragnolati also played a key role in the state’s pandemic response and was selected by the governor to serve on both the Office of the Governor’s COVID-19 Restart & Recovery Advisory Council and Professional Advisory Committee.

Last year, Gragnolati joined Summit-based Concord Health Partners, a health care focused investment firm, as a partner, where he is working to source new investment opportunities, support management teams and accelerate the growth of portfolio companies.

“In working with Concord over the years, it was clear that the firm has developed a powerful model for health care investing. Concord has become a leader in identifying innovative companies and partnering with them to drive growth,” said Gragnolati. “I am excited at the opportunity to work even more closely with the Concord team and their portfolio companies to help them continue to deliver solutions that lower costs, improve quality, an expand access to care.”
