ProMedica CEO honored as influential person in health care

TOLEDO — ProMedica President and Chief Executive Officer Randy Oostra was recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of 2020's 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare, a press release from ProMedica said today. This is the fourth consecutive year Oostra has received the recognition from Modern Healthcare, according to the release. ProMedica Fostoria Community Hospital is part of the ProMedica system. This program acknowledges and honors individuals deemed by their peers and the senior editors of Modern Healthcare to be the most influential in the industry in terms of leadership and impact. According to Modern Healthcare: "This year will be remembered for more than the COVID-19 pandemic and election. It is a year that reminded us of the importance of the frontline healthcare worker and the power of collaboration. Every member of this class found ways to help their organization or the government or each other maneuver through unprecedented hardships. The result was often groundbreaking. Modern Healthcare and our readers selected the 100 most innovative and resilient candidates … which this year comprised a record number of women … who influenced the course that healthcare took during a global pandemic, continued to press forward amidst uncertainty, and used current events like the election, racial injustice and public health as an inspiration to do better. Congratulations to our honorees." Said Oostra: "In a year like 2020, it's especially an honor for ProMedica to be recognized by Modern Healthcare. This year, we have faced unprecedented challenges, and ProMedica team members have worked tirelessly to care for and support our patients, residents, members and their families. We are humbled by their dedication and incredibly appreciative of the adaptability and resilience they have demonstrated throughout the pandemic."
