PHOENIX (April 18, 2023) – Becker’s Hospital Review has named Banner Health CEO Peter Fine to its 2023 list of ‘great healthcare leaders to know,’ recognizing more than 80 top leaders of health systems across the country for their exemplary leadership qualities.
Becker’s compiles the list yearly in recognition of distinguished leaders in health care who have led their respective organizations toward success in innovation, inclusivity and access to care, especially amidst the many challenges the health care industry has faced in the past few years.
Fine has led Banner Health for more than 20 years with vision, skill and passion. Under his bold and innovative leadership style, Banner has emerged as one of the largest secular nonprofit healthcare organizations in the United States with more than 52,000 employees and $12.3 billion in revenue. He has elevated Banner as a highly integrated health system with enhanced scope, scale, agility and customer service.
“At Banner Health we live by our mission to make health care easier so life can be better,” said Fine. “I am grateful to lead such a dedicated team and to be recognized among so many influential colleagues who also lead their health systems with poise and perseverance through the ever-changing healthcare environment.”
One of Fine’s key accomplishments includes guiding Banner’s move into health plans, initiating a smooth transition from fee-for-service to value-based care. He has also intentionally made health care easier and more consumer-centric at Banner by investing in the enhancement of Banner’s digital front door, a platform that gives customers a seamless interface to interact with the health system.
Fine has also approached the widespread healthcare staffing shortages experienced by the entire U.S. health care system with tenacity. He is a champion of his employees, making bold moves to address the pressing healthcare staffing shortages through actions such as raising the minimum wage for employees and investing millions of dollars in frontline staff pay adjustments and wellness services to promote staff well-being.
