Modern Healthcare named Dru Bhattacharya of Banner Health in Phoenix a Diversity Leader to Watch in Healthcare for 2023.
Bhattacharya is chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer for Banner Health. Modern Healthcare is a business news and information brand in the healthcare industry.
The program honors leaders and organizations that are influencing healthcare diversity policy and care delivery models and highlighting the continued need to nurture diversity in their own organizations, a press release explains.
