*The AAMA Healthcare Executive of the Year Award was conceived in 2007 resulting from the AAMA Board of Directors decision to merge the Harry Shubin, MD Statesman in Healthcare Administration (view past recipients) and William Newcomer Healthcare Executive of the Year Awards (view past recipients) into a single executive-level award to provide enhanced visibility and recognition of recipients’ extraordinary contributions.
