This program acknowledges and honors individuals who are deemed by their peers and the senior editors of the magazine to be the most influential figures in the industry in terms of leadership and impact.
Berdan’s steady, community-focused leadership has enabled Texas Health to meet increasing healthcare needs while maintaining a strong financial position as North Texas experiences continued regional growth, said C. John Wilder, Texas Health Board of Trustees chair.
“Barclay has guided Texas Health with a keen focus on service to North Texans,” Wilder said. “Under his leadership, Texas Health has engaged in collaborative partnerships to address emerging healthcare issues and better suit consumers’ needs and preferences. He has embraced innovations that allow medical professionals to meet consumers where they are most comfortable — from brick-and-mortar hospitals to virtual spaces.”
Wilder said Berdan is a champion of change.
“Barclay is leading the transformation of Texas Health from a system focused on sick care to one that revolves around the health and well-being of consumers,” he said.
