NEW YORK, Jan. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Chief Clinical Officers of 2025. Chief Clinical Officers hold some of the most senior roles in healthcare organizations, guiding how care is delivered while balancing quality, safety, and operational demands. These leaders bring deep clinical backgrounds alongside management experience, overseeing clinical teams, setting standards of practice, and supporting consistent, patient-centered care across complex systems. Their work includes supervising clinical and administrative leadership, shaping workforce development, and guiding organizations through change while protecting the quality and safety of patient care.
Among this year's honorees is Monica Berner, Chief Clinical Officer at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Berner is a board-certified family physician who is passionate about improving access to affordable, high-quality healthcare for all Americans. She is responsible for clinical policy and operations that improve access and support efficient delivery of high-quality, affordable medical care. This includes oversight of provider networks, care management, value-based care, accreditation, and quality improvement initiatives.
We also honor Crystal Jack, Chief Clinical Services Officer of Children's Hospital Los Angeles. In her role, Jack has financial and operational oversight of anesthesiology, critical care medicine, pain management (inpatient and ambulatory), and palliative care, as well as diagnostic and clinical services including radiology, interventional radiology, laboratory medicine, anatomic pathology, pharmacy, respiratory services, and emergency department administration. Her responsibilities also include supply chain, construction planning and design, leased facilities, real estate, and the Center for Personalized Medicine.
Finally, we acknowledge Kathryn Boger, Chief Clinical Officer and Co-Founder of InStride Health. She co-developed the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital, a nationally recognized program known for its empirically supported intensive treatment for anxiety and OCD, and in 2021, she co-founded InStride Health with the mission of expanding access to insurance-backed, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and young adults with anxiety and OCD.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Chief Clinical Officers of 2025.
