Memorial Hermann Health System is proud to announce that president and CEO, David L. Callender, MD, has been named for the fifth consecutive year to Becker’s Hospital Review’s 'Great Leaders in Healthcare.'
The publication’s annual list recognizes innovative leaders who pioneer new models of care delivery, drive thoughtful solutions to industry challenges and reimagine the experiences of those who give and receive care—resulting in positive impacts to patient care, organizational culture, employee retention and development, population health and clinical, operational and fiscal governance.
Since joining Memorial Hermann as president and CEO in 2019, Dr. Callender has established a strategic framework to enable Memorial Hermann and the entire health system to create value for patients and populations; that is, delivering the greatest outcomes at an optimal cost, creating exceptional experiences for patients and a fulfilling work environment for its workforce and improving health access across Greater Houston.
This latest recognition follows Dr. Callender’s recent inclusion on Becker’s 'CEO Influencers to Know' and Modern Healthcare’s 'Most Influential People in Healthcare' lists for 2025.
