Northwell CEO Among '100 Most Influential People In Healthcare'

The President and CEO of Northwell Health has been named among the most influential people in healthcare for the twelfth year in a row.

Michael J. Dowling ranks No. 44 on Modern Healthcare's "100 Most Influential People In Healthcare" list. He is the top-rated hospital executive in New York State on the list. Dowling ranked No. 38 in last year's rankings.

“In today’s turbulent health care environment, it’s imperative that providers on the front lines of delivering care have strong representation at the state and federal levels,” Dowling said in a press release. “As CEO of New York’s largest health care provider, I’ve always tried to be a compassionate voice for the needy, a no-excuses advocate for patients, and a driver of changes that stabilize our industry and improve health care delivery in the process."

Dowling oversees an organization with nearly $12 billion in annual revenue. Northwell Health has 23 hospitals and more than 665 outpatient facilities throughout the New York metropolitan area.

President Donald Trump topped Modern Healthcare’s rankings. The No. 2 spot was a 12-way tie between executives like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Amazon Chairman and CEO Jeff Bezos.
