PITTSBURGH, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- David L. Holmberg, president and CEO for Highmark Health, has again been selected by Modern Healthcare magazine as one of the industry's "100 Most Influential People."

Initially named in 2019, this recognition marks the second time Holmberg has been included on the magazine's "100 Most Influential People in Healthcare" list.

The 2023 "Most Influential" recognition honors 100 individuals who are deemed by their peers and the senior editors of Modern Healthcare to be the most impactful leaders in the industry. In being named to the list, Holmberg joins prominent leaders from across the United States, including elected officials, government appointees, health system CEOs, insurance industry presidents, and representatives from retail health care.

"Our ranked list honors the C-suite decision-makers using their clout and influence to lead their organizations and make sweeping changes that affect patient care," said Modern Healthcare Editor Mary Ellen Podmolik.

"In his nine years as CEO, David has led a profound organizational and cultural shift, making Highmark Health a nationally recognized leader in health industry transformation," said Joseph Guyaux, chairman, Highmark Health Board of Directors.
