MEDITECH is pleased to congratulate Barbara Collins, President and CEO of Humber River Health (North York, ON), for recently being named among Newsweek’s top hospital CEOs for 2024/2025.
The recognition brings with it an invitation to join Newsweek’s Top CEO Network, an exclusive, invitation-only program recognizing the world’s foremost hospital leaders. The network connects leading CEOs, executives, and founders globally to exchange ideas, address complex issues, and promote significant change within the healthcare industry.
Humber River Health, a longstanding MEDITECH customer and one of the most technologically advanced hospitals in Canada, is known for its innovation. Among the many accomplishments under Collin’s leadership, Humber made headlines for being North America's first fully digital hospital, followed by being the first Canadian hospital to deploy a first-of-its-kind command center, which was only the second one globally at the time. Collins continues to initiate a number of projects that enhance both the patient and staff experience, including expanding the hospital’s offerings and accessibility.
”Barbara's exceptional dedication to improving the quality and outcomes of patient care, along with her forward-thinking adoption of technology, has consistently been a cornerstone of her strategic vision," said MEDITECH Executive Vice President & COO Helen Waters. "She persistently spearheads transformative change that positively impacts staff, patients, and their families, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to her for this well-deserved recognition, which serves as a testament to her outstanding leadership and innovative approach."
