International emerging leaders 1997.

Each of the young executives selected for this year's International Emerging Leaders in Healthcare Award has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to rise to the challenge of the healthcare marketplace of the Nineties. Whether battling with far-larger, health plans for market share in California's brutal managed care arena, trying to create health for the residents of its surrounding West Baltimore neighborhood, looking for a new ways to partner in an effort to keep an academic medical center financially vibrant, or creating customer loyalty by asking consumers what they want--an almost unheard-of concept in healthcare, all four of this year's award winners have achieved things, and envisioned things, that distinguish them from their colleagues. And all of them, at 40 or younger, have made a huge impact at an early age. In recognition of that, and of the likelihood that they will continue to perform at a high level, no matter what they encounter as the face of healthcare changes, Korn/Ferry International and The Healthcare Forum are proud to honor Jane Durney Crowley, Tim Parris, Kenneth Prewit-Wood, and David Strand.
