Congratulations to Kristi McGowin, CHKD’s chief nursing officer and vice president of patient care services, who was named to Becker’s Hospital Review list of “Hospital and health system CNOs to know.”
The 2026 list recognizes 361 hospital and health system nursing leaders from around the country.
“Every great nursing team has a leader who makes the work possible,” Becker’s Healthcare said in a news release. “The CNOs on this list are those leaders. These executives are at the forefront of the profession, tackling staffing challenges, managing complex budgets, and building the pathways that help emerging nurses grow and thrive. Their work also extends beyond the nursing department. They lead the forward-thinking initiatives that elevate patient care and strengthen clinical excellence across their organizations.”
