Our annual Women to Watch recognizes Southern Nevada women whom we believe are going to make a difference in the coming months. They represent an empowering group. Women to Watch is an interesting program for a couple of reasons. One, in seeking out our honorees, we don’t rely merely on past behavior — a touch of prognostication is involved. How are each of these women positioned to make 2019 the best year yet? We want to know. Two, our honorees were chosen by a group with a unique perspective: previous Women to Watch winners. Being chosen as a Woman to Watch is an honor; choosing the Women to Watch is hard work and we appreciate the help of our judging committee. This year’s honorees were chosen by a panel who have a unique perspective on the honor: a group of last year’s Women to Watch reviewed all the nominations and offered their top choices. They chose leaders in business, philanthropy and health care. It’s an esteemed group of women that VEGAS INC is … [Read more...] about Women to Watch honorees come from worlds of business, philanthropy, health care

Recognizing the people who put the ‘care’ in Chattanooga area health care
Gallery: Champion of Healthcare +6 more photos Chattanooga is home to Tennessee's biggest health insurer, the world's biggest disability insurer, a half dozen nursing and medical colleges and three healthy, competitive hospital systems with differing investor-owned, nonprofit and government ownership models. Collectively, more than 25,000 persons in Chattanooga work in some means of delivering, insuring and supporting health care. But health care is far more than just a major employer in town. For most of us at some point in our lives, health care becomes very personal and those who deliver and support it essential to our well being.
