D-H CEO Named InfluentialHealth Care Leader

Lebanon — Modern Healthcare magazine has named Dr. Joanne M. Conroy, Dartmouth-Hitchcock CEO and president, one of 50 “Most Influential Physician Executives and Leaders.”

Conroy, who started at Dartmouth less than a year ago, has ensured a $58 million turnaround in the health system’s finances. She is featured in the June 18 issue of the magazine, along with leaders of the nation’s top health system, government agencies and foundations. She was recognized not only for Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s financial success, but also for its solid bond rating reviews, and for efforts to improve staff engagement and retention.

“This is such an incredible honor. It goes without saying that being listed among such an impressive list of my fellow physician leaders is humbling,” Conroy said in a news release. “I’m very proud to have been selected last year as the CEO and president of Dartmouth-Hitchcock, to lead an organization with great promise to transform health care for our nation. This recognition by Modern Healthcare further validates that we as an organization are doing the right thing for our patients and the communities we serve.”
