Latest About CEOs Studies
Hospital CEO positions turned over at a rate of 17 percent in 2019, according to a recent report by the American College of Healthcare Executives. This represents a small decrease from turnover rates over the last five years, which have held steady at 18 percent. The past eight years is the longest period during which hospital CEO turnover rates were 17 percent or higher since the study began in the early 1980s.
