From startups to global corporations, CEOs have the power to make immense strides in any respective industry. In pediatric medicine, they drive advancements in child health through high-quality care, coordinated programs, education, research and advocacy. While providers are working directly with patients, these leaders are preparing the infrastructure for success while pushing us to reimagine healthcare. It's because of them, institutions like Children's Hospital Colorado and Nationwide Children's remain among the top 10 pediatric hospital systems in the country. In this episode, we go beyond the white coat by sitting down with two of the most influential CEOs in pediatrics.

Jena has been a champion for increasing research and innovation and improving pediatric mental health. Tim's leadership has helped transform Nationwide Children's from an important regional children's medical center into an internationally prominent academic healthcare system.
