Breaking Through the Glass Ceiling With Roxie Wells, M.D.

In the health care field, women occupy only 15% of C-suite executive positions, and for women of color that percentage is even smaller. The importance of gender and racial diversity in health care leadership is clearer than ever, and organizations dedicated to equity in executive roles are building successful visions for the future. In this conversation, Roxie Wells, M.D., senior vice president chief physician executive and strategy officer with Novant Health Coastal Market, discusses her long journey to and through the health care C-suite, and the importance of mentoring young women leaders through the glass ceiling and beyond.
