The Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) is a coalition of chief executives from all disciplines within American healthcare. Members of HLC advocate for measures to increase the quality and efficiency of healthcare through a patient-centered approach. Examples of programs include those addressing broadband access, behavioral health, social determinants of health, vaccine readiness, reducing disparities in care delivery, and increasing workforce and clinical trial diversity. These innovative approaches provide an avenue to scale and replicate in other communities, improving upon best practices nationwide. The award ceremony was an inspiring event that included passionate speakers, testimonials, and a Congressional Certificate of Recognition from Nevada State Senator, Jacky Rosen.
