Nomination period extended for Fierce Healthcare's 2023 Women of Influence

UPDATED: Oct. 23

We're extending the deadline for submissions for the Women of Influence! Submit your nominations through Monday, Oct. 30 using the form below.


Healthcare continues to face unprecedented challenges in the wake of COVID-19, and women are playing a key role in driving the transformation necessary to weather the storm.

Women working in the industry tend to earn less than their male counterparts while taking on greater responsibility outside of work and in the home. Female researchers submit fewer medical studies, research shows, and women are less likely to climb the corporate ladder than men are.

That's why we want to honor 10 women who are leading the charge on the work needed to overhaul healthcare. 

Our 2022 Women of Influence winners included Margaret-Mary Wilson, M.D., who is one of the leading clinical voices at UnitedHealth Group, putting her in a position to truly make a change in how patients receive care. We recognized Roberta Schwartz, Ph.D., whose expertise is playing a critical role in making Houston Methodist one of the country's best hospitals. We also spotlighted Julia Hu, who co-founded and leads Lark Health, a digital innovator in chronic disease management.

We're seeking nominations for leaders like these who are on the front lines of this transformational moment in healthcare. And this is where you come in.

Using the form below, send us your suggestions for the women we should honor this year. Nominations will be accepted through Oct. 17, and we will reveal the winners later this fall.
