16 Healthcare Innovators That You Should Know
--
These 16 innovators are changing the face of healthcare. They are behavioral scientists, product leaders, academic researchers, statisticians, physicians, clinicians, strategists, experts in diversity equity and inclusion, implementation scientists, and tech leaders.
