Thirty-one current ATA members were also recognized on Modern Healthcare’s 100 Most Influential People. The complete ranking can be found in this week’s issue of Modern Healthcare magazine.
“This is an incredible honor to be recognized by Modern Healthcare and a true testament to our dedicated Board of Directors, led by Dr. Joe Kvedar, ATA’s talented and tireless team, and our unwavering members during an unprecedented national health emergency,” said Mond Johnson. “The COVID-19 pandemic has been a propellent — illuminating the dire shortcomings of our healthcare system while enabling our nation’s providers to continue to effectively deliver needed care virtually, ensuring patients can safely access quality care when and where they need it, including underserved and rural communities and our most vulnerable patients. The ATA remains resolute in our mission to ensure telehealth becomes permanently available following the pandemic and will continue to work with federal and state government to improve policies to expand access to telehealth.”
This recognition acknowledges and honors individuals who are deemed by their peers and the magazine’s senior editors to be the most influential individuals in the industry, in terms of leadership and impact.
Telehealth is well represented on this year’s Modern Healthcare 100 Most Influential People list, as testament to its critical role as a valuable compliment to in-person care delivery. Current ATA members named to the Modern Healthcare 100 Most Influential People list include:

“This year will be remembered for more than the COVID-19 pandemic and election. It is a year that reminded us of the importance of the frontline healthcare worker and the power of collaboration. Every member of this class found ways to help their organization or the government or each other maneuver through unprecedented hardships. The result was often groundbreaking,” said Modern Healthcare’s editor, Aurora Aguilar. “Modern Healthcare and our readers selected the 100 most innovative and resilient candidates…which this year comprised a record number of women…who influenced the course that healthcare took during a global pandemic, continued to press forward amidst uncertainty, and used current events like the election, racial injustice and public health as an inspiration to do better. Congratulations to our honorees.”
