207 community hospital presidents and CEOs to know | 2025 
Becker's Hospital Review; by Anna Falvey; 7/11/25 
Community hospitals play a vital role in closing healthcare access gaps, and the CEOs who lead them are committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective care tailored to the needs of their local communities. While many community hospitals focus on acute care, these forward-thinking CEOs are also expanding services to include primary care, specialty treatments, rehabilitation, public health programs and beyond. They are responsible for shaping a positive workplace culture, steering long-term strategy, growing service lines and ensuring financial sustainability, all with their communities at the heart.
Editor's Note: While most of these hospitals provide palliative care and partner with hospice care, these presidents/CEOs are identified providing "hospice" care.
