The region’s healthcare organizations continue to persevere, despite headwinds that have increased costs, ongoing threats in the workplace, and an ever-changing regulatory environment. North Texas competes better than most as one of the most accomplished healthcare markets in the state, with high-quality employers, providers, and insurers.
To recognize industry leaders and organizations for their achievements and impact on the North Texas economy, D CEO has named finalists for its 2023 Excellence in Healthcare Awards.
This year’s program attracted more than 100 nominations across several categories. The editorial team and outside judges who have deep knowledge of the healthcare field pored over the submissions and made tough decisions.
We are especially pleased to recognize longtime Texas Oncology CEO Dr. R. Steven Paulson with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, we are awarding a Healthcare Hero award to Dr. Danny Holland for his work on the front lines of the war in Ukraine.
All finalists will be featured in D CEO’s December issue and recognized at an awards event, where the winners will be revealed.
