Nicole B. Thomas Graduates from ELEVATE Program – A Leadership Development Initiative for Black Health Care Executives Charlotte, N.C. (Sept. 22, 2023) – On Saturday, Sept. 16, a cohort of eight leading Black health care executives completed the ELEVATE program, an initiative founded by Black senior health care executives to equip rising Black health care leaders with a supportive and structured environment for learning, development and advancement. This year’s cohort, the second annual cohort, included Nicole B. Thomas, President from Baptist Medical Center, in Jacksonville, FL, as well as • Susan R. Burroughs, former CEO, MUSC Health- Columbia Medical Center Northeast, Columbia, SC • Anthony B. Coleman, President/CEO, Broadlawns Medical Center, Des Moines, IA • Roland Cruickshank, COO, Ascension Metro West Region, West Bloomfield, MI • Gabrielle Finley-Hazle, CEO, Dignity Health Arizona Central and West Valley Market, CommonSpirit Health, Phoenix, AZ • Dana Weston Graves, President, Sentara Princess Anne Hospital, Virginia Beach, VA • Dia Nichols, President, Advocate Health Care, representing the Illinois market of Advocate Health, Park Ridge, IL • Denzil K. Ross, CEO, Northwest Medical Center Houghton, Tucson, AZ In this year’s ELEVATE program, the eight cohort members met three times, in Washington, D.C., Chicago and Charlotte, North Carolina, learning more about the health care industry and continuing to hone their skills to advance to the highest rungs of leadership within health systems. ELEVATE was created by current and former leaders of major health care systems, including visionary founders, Kevin E. Lofton, CEO emeritus of CommonSpirit Health, and Eugene A. Woods, chief executive officer of Advocate Health. After completing the program, participants are better prepared to take on greater and more senior-level roles and responsibilities within major health care enterprises. This, in turn, helps increase diversity in health system C-Suites. The first ELEVATE cohort has already demonstrated success in achieving these goals. According to a 2021 survey from the Chartis Group, only 10% of total C-suite positions were filled by Black leaders and just 6% of CEOs for the surveyed hospitals were Black. Among hospitals, 46% of those surveyed had at least one Black leader in its C-Suite.
