Women CEOs comprise an estimated 30 percent (at most) of the overall C-suite,” said Aurora Aguilar, editor for Modern Healthcare. “But the executives named to this year’s Top 25 Women Leaders list exemplify how diversity results in success, both clinically and financially. Congratulations to those leaders in the 2019 class.”
This recognition is the latest achievement for Perry during her time at Atlantic Health System.
