MICHAEL DOWLING PRESIDENT AND CEO NORTHWELL HEALTH ichael Dowling is one of healthcare’s most in uential voices, taking a stand on societal issues that many health system CEOs shy away from, such as gun violence and immigration. As president and CEO of Northwell Health, he leads a clinical, academic and research enterprise with a work- M force of more than 72,000 and annual revenue of $13.5 billion. Northwell is the largest healthcare provider and private employer in New York State, caring for more than two million people annually through a vast network of nearly 800 outpatient facilities, including 220 primary care practices, 52 urgent care cen- ters, home care, rehabilitation and end-of-life programs, and 23 hospitals. Northwell pursues pioneering research at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and an approach to medical education highlighted by the Zucker School of Medicine, the Hofstra Northwell School of Grad- uate Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies - one of the nation’s largest medical residency and fellow- ship programs. Dowling’s leadership took center stage during the COVID-19 pandemic. His forward thinking kept Northwell prepared with adequate personal protective equipment and able to create capacity on the y while still pursuing innovation, all while treating more COVID patients (76,000) than any other health system in the United States. He worked in lockstep with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to assist with the state’s battle against the pandemic. Dowling detailed these experiences in his latest book, “Leading Through a Pandemic: The Inside Story of Humanity, Innovation, and Lessons Learned During the COVID-19 Crisis.” Among his achievements navigating the crisis, Dowling invested $5 million in February for critical PPE and other equipment, including ventilators and lab supplies, to help manage patient surges and keep Northwell team members safe. He redeployed more than 1,400 clinicians out of their specialties to help those working the front lines and innovated when needed. When
