Emme Deland CBS '80, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at NewYork-Presbyterian, was named to Crain’s New York Business's list of “Notable Women in Health Care,” the publication’s inaugural list honoring health care executives, researchers and clinicians who have profoundly impacted New York City through their professional, civic and philanthropic achievements. Ms. Deland and five of her colleagues were among the notable women who made the list.
“We are delighted to celebrate these remarkable leaders and the outstanding work they do to benefit patients, staff and our surrounding community,” said Dr. Steven J. Corwin, president and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian. “Each of these talented honorees makes a difference in the lives of our patients and their families. We applaud their exemplary leadership, vision and their commitment to NewYork-Presbyterian’s culture of respect and excellence.”
The list highlights the careers of 78 female health care leaders in New York City. Nationally, women accounted for 76 percent of the hospital workforce in 2017 and 78.5 percent of all non-hospital health services jobs, Crain’s noted. When choosing the honorees, Crain’s also looked at community service, a track record of mentoring others, and promotion of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
