ROI Influencers: Health Care 2024 — Top 25

Everyone knows just how important our health care system is — from young to old, hospital stays to outpatient services, life sciences to pharma — to the care of our body, mind and soul — New Jerseyans seemingly interact with the health care industry on a weekly, if not daily, basis. It plays a big role in our society.

Battling health care inequities while addressing the social determinants of health is just one of the ways the industry’s reach goes far beyond the hospital walls. We’re offering an in-depth look at the influencers behind the scenes and out in the open and all those in charge of helping to keep you healthy and happy in all facets of life.
