Mayo Clinic Phoenix’s Wyatt Decker, MD, Sacred Heart Hospital’s Julie Manas and UC Health University Hospital’s Brian Gibler, MD, all share their thoughts for hospital strategy going into 2013 on page 28 of this issue. Also included in this issue are Q&As with two leading hospital executives: Kenneth David, MD, CEO of The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, and Melinda Estes, MD, CEO of Saint Luke’s Health System in Kansas City, Mo.
