Watch Healthcare Superstars Inspire

Gold Medal Award recipients Christine M. Candio, FACHE, and Kenneth R. White, PhD, RN, FACHE, reveal their leadership successes at Congress.

During the Congress on Healthcare Leadership, Candio and White were the recipients of ACHE’s highest honor bestowed on outstanding leaders.

Candio, president/CEO, St. Luke's Health Corporation, St. Louis, served as ACHE Chairman from 2014 to 2015. "What has and continues to motivate me is seeing the impact of making a positive difference in people’s lives and to ensure that our communities are being well served," said Candio in a recent interview. "Working in the healthcare field is so much more than a “job”; it is a sacred privilege."

White, associate dean for strategic partnerships and innovation, The School of Nursing, University of (Charlottesville) Virginia, served on the Board of Governors from 2004 to 2007. In commenting on what motivates him, he said, "What … has continued to motivate me is a steadfast commitment to providing the best care possible. From the bedside to the boardroom, I am an advocate for doing what is best for the patient."

Congress Save the Date: Remember to mark your calendars for Congress on Healthcare Leadership next year, to be held March 23–26, Hyatt Regency Chicago.

Leveraging Leadership for High Reliability Safe Care focuses on the causes of injury and error and the role of leadership in implementing high-reliability safe care and the practical aspects of developing a culture of safety.
