Dec. 22. Atrium Health President & CEO Eugene A. Woods has been ranked No. 4 on Modern Healthcare’s list of the 100 most influential people in healthcare. The list includes government administrators and executives, elected officials, academics and thought-leaders, as well as senior-level executives within the health care field.

Honorees are chosen by their peers and the senior editors of Modern Healthcare as being among the most influential in the industry, in terms of leadership and impact.

Modern Healthcare noted Woods’ commitment to access for the underserved as a leading factor for his selection, along with his push to create a “synergistic innovation district” adjacent to the soon-to-be-constructed Wake Forest University School of Medicine Charlotte in midtown Charlotte.
