This prestigious recognition program acknowledges and honors women executives from all sectors of the healthcare industry for their contributions to care delivery improvement, health equity, policy and gender equity in healthcare leadership.

“Jackie exemplifies what it means to be a Modern Woman award recipient through her natural talent and drive,” states Visiting Nurse Health System President and CEO Dorothy Davis. “Her commitment to developing future talent in healthcare is inspiring. As our CIO, Jacqueline not only drives healthcare strategy and innovation but also fosters an environment where healthcare professionals can thrive and grow. Her dedication to nurturing the next generation of leaders is a testament to her vision and leadership. She is truly deserving of this award, and we are incredibly proud to have her as a pivotal part of our leadership team.”

“The roles held by the honorees on our 2025 list of Leading Women and Rising Stars vary greatly but they all have one thing in common — a commitment to helping their organizations reach the clinical, operational and financial goals,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “Their leadership and achievements are propelling the industry forward, both in terms of improving the patient experience and serving as mentors for other women in healthcare.”
