…industry leaders shared pearls of wisdom for success…

“Kindness is the most underutilized skill in business and it is free. There is no upper limit to the consequences of not being kind to someone.”

“Leadership is about grit, graciousness, and gratitude.”@modrnhealthcr #mhwomen #womenleaders

Marna Borgstrom CEO @YNHH: You don’t have to be the first car in the parking lot and the last to leave to be a good leader, but you do need to have a commitment to excellence and to the patient. #MHWomen pic.twitter.com/PcaRPExh1b

…as well as a number of important facts and figures…

New @modrnhealthcr survey of over 900 women healthcare leaders – 1 of 4 have experienced sexual harrassment.

In more than 1/3 of events described nothing was done.

Most shocking: Panelist consensus was this was PROGRESS…(but long way to go!)@TIMESUPHC #timesuphc #MHWomen pic.twitter.com/A7tQjFZk4p

…in the end, many were envisioning a brighter future for health care.

I envision a healthcare system with true competition where providers can compete on cost and quality and where patients have control and can make decisions about their healthcare, and all Americans have access to high quality and affordable coverage. #MHWomen
