Vanguard Series: Leaders in health care

NJBIZ this week is launching the Vanguard Series, in which we will profile those who have been at the forefront of significant business breakthroughs in various industry sectors in the past year. We are kicking off this new series with leaders in health care, as chronicled by our health reporter Vince Calio.

Business publications tend to emphasize the accomplishments of those at the top of the org chart, and rightfully so. NJBIZ’s annual Power 100 list is one such venue for this; it is our capsule look at the key decision-makers who help power the engine that is New Jersey business.

But then there are those who are more behind the scenes or in the trenches. They may be executives who have had a major influence on policymaking, or subordinates who were among the primary drivers of breakthroughs, innovations or disruptions of the status quo.

With that as a backdrop, NJBIZ this week is launching the Vanguard Series, in which we will profile those who have been at the forefront of significant business breakthroughs in various industry sectors in the past year. We are kicking off this new series with leaders in health care, as chronicled by our health reporter Vince Calio.

We identified some of those on the initial list, and we also have endeavored to reach out to as many health care organizations as possible to get their insight on who they believe were the standouts of the past year. We thank those of you who contributed and pledge to be even more proactive as we expand the series to other industry sectors throughout the course of the year.

What follows are our first Vanguard Series profiles of the year: the leaders in health care. We hope you enjoy it.
