"The CEO has to lead the hospital to change from thinking about the care that
is given while the patient is within our walls to thinking about the care of the
patient outside our walls."

Population health management is quickly becoming a fact of life for hospitals and health systems across the
country. From adding a new C-suite position to taking survival notes from safety-nets, it seems like a handle on
population health is increasingly important for competency in healthcare risk management. But what's it like to
run a hospital in a place where the population is already healthy?
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation published its annual list of the healthiest counties in every U.S. state in
March. Here, three hospital and health system executives leading one or more facilities in these counties explain
their population health initiatives in the context of their locations.
