Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine for 2024

NEW YORK, April 27, 2024 Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine for 2024. While women have been medical practitioners for centuries, there's been a recent rise in women physicians in the United States. The numbers have been steadily climbing for nearly two decades, with about 38% of US physicians being women in 2023.

In addition to serving as physicians, women leaders in medicine have taken on administrative and executive roles, lending their skills and specialized knowledge to the field to provide better patient care.

Among these leaders is physician and entrepreneur Avril Beckford. She's the founder of the Pediatric and Adolescent Center, and she serves as the Chief Pediatric Officer for the WellStar Health System, a nationally recognized healthcare system.

This year's honorees include Heather Prendergast, the Executive Director of the University of Illinois Physician Group with the University of Illinois College of Medicine. Among her achievements is the establishment of the first off-site University of Illinois Multispecialty Ambulatory Clinic in 2020.

We also extend honors to Catherine Codispoti, the SVP and Chief People Officer at Mercy, one of the 25 largest health systems in the US. Codispoti has served in multiple executive roles in medicine throughout her 20-year career.

Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine for 2024.
