Atlanta 3.28.2025 – Visiting Nurse Health System is proud to announce that Jacqueline Ralph-Blair was recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of the Leading Women for 2025. 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.”

The profiles of all the honorees are featured in the March 10, 2025, issue of MH magazine and online at ModernHealthcare.com/LeadingWomen.

We’re proud to share our President and CEO, Dorothy Davis, joined other Georgia healthcare leaders this week in Washington DC, gathering April 9 for LeadingAge Lobby Day.
The team meet with both Republican and Democratic representatives to ensure healthcare and choice remain an option for seniors.
As Visiting Nurse began over 76 years ago, our mission is to improve the lives of those we serve, and we carried the voices of our patients and caregivers to the Georgia representatives.
We honor this dedicated team of healthcare leaders (Ginny Helms, Deke Cateau, Chris Keysor, Karon Nixon) committed to work in connection directly with local and federal policymakers, to continue helping to drive meaningful change and create a more equitable healthcare system for all. Thank you to these strong leaders, for their unwavering dedication and for being a voice for those who need it most.
