Dr. Linda Aiken Named One of the 100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare by Modern Healthcare Magazine

September 2, 2010

I am thrilled to announce that Dr. Linda Aiken has been named one of the 100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare by Modern Healthcare Magazine for her expertise and global presence in the field of health policy and workforce staffing. She is the only employee at the University of Pennsylvania to be named to this list. She joins the ranks of other noted national nurse leaders as Mary Wakefield, Beverly Malone, Polly Bednash, and Rebecca Patton, as well as such non-nurse leaders as Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Harvey Fineberg, President of the Institute of Medicine, and Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, President of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations, and many important policy leaders, such as President Obama, Secretary for HHS Kathleen Sebelius, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Please join me in congratulating Linda who is bringing such distinction to our profession, to our School and to our University.
