This prestigious recognition program acknowledges and honors individuals who are deemed by the Modern Healthcare newsroom to be the most influential figures in the industry in terms of leadership and impact. The national honor is considered one of the industry’s highest distinctions, recognizing leaders whose vision, decisions, and achievements shape healthcare in meaningful and lasting ways.
“Influence can be exerted in many ways but regardless of whether it is used to internally shape organizations, the healthcare industry as a whole or both, playing a positive role benefits patients and the professionals responsible for their health,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “Our ranked list of the 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare highlights the executives in all corners of the industry who are striving to advance medicine and how care is delivered — and succeeding in doing so.”
As the first System President and Chief Medical Officer in Prime Healthcare’s 25-year history, Dr. Bhatia leads one of the largest physician-led health systems in the United States with a national network of 51 hospitals and more than 360 outpatient locations across 14 states, serving over millions of patients over more than 600 communities each year.
Under his mission-driven leadership, Prime completed one of the largest health system transactions of 2025: the successful acquisition and integration of eight hospitals and affiliated care sites in Illinois. The landmark transaction ensured that hospitals at risk of closure remained open, strengthened local economies by maintaining and creating thousands of jobs, and accelerated clinical modernization through investments in technology, infrastructure, and patient-centered programs.
Dr. Bhatia’s impact extends beyond operations. He has championed major investments in Epic EMR expansion and the integration of innovative technologies including AI-enabled workflows, automated processes, and digital tools designed to support clinicians and enhance the patient experience. Under his leadership, Prime is advancing geriatric emergency certification, expanding cardiovascular programs, strengthening virtual care, and accelerating clinical modernization across newly integrated markets. Each initiative reinforces Prime’s longstanding commitment to vulnerable and underserved communities and reflects its founding mission: to save and improve hospitals so that they can deliver compassionate, quality care to patients and better healthcare for communities.
“This honor reflects the extraordinary work of our physicians, nurses, caregivers, and leaders across Prime Healthcare,” Dr. Bhatia said. “Everything we achieve is because of the collective commitment, compassion, and teamwork of our entire organization. Our mission is not only to provide high-quality, compassionate care – it is to bring hope to the hospitals, communities, and patients we serve. I am proud to serve alongside our teams as we continue to strengthen access to quality care for those who need it most.”

Sixty four percent of UK adults are overweight or living with obesity, yet access to GLP-1 treatment plans remains challenging on the NHS, and via the private sector due to surging demand and escalating costs. Removing barriers to care, the Hims & Hers digital platform provides eligible British women and men seamless access to its comprehensive, doctor-designed Weight Loss Programme.
Following a thorough, and clinically robust intake assessment conducted by GMC-registered doctors, eligible customers now have access to transparent pricing and personalised weight management programmes, which may include branded GLP-1 options, such as Mounjaro or Wegovy, and the oral non-prescription treatment option, Orlos. Licensed clinicians assess each individual’s medical history, suitability, and contraindications to guide appropriate treatment decisions. Critically, all customers have access to comprehensive support, including 24/7 care team access and content to help improve nutrition, movement, and sleep-based habits along their weight loss journey. This holistic programme is designed to support long-term health, helping customers manage their weight and adopt sustainable lifestyle habits.
Now for the first time through Hers, women in the UK deemed clinically suitable can access a new standard of weight management care that blends convenience with personalised support at every step of their journey. Hers’ customers receive ongoing clinician support through follow-ups and asynchronous messaging, along with treatment adjustments when necessary, keeping care seamless, conversational, and customer-centered. Hers is more than just a telehealth platform; it's where clinical experience meets thoughtful care, resetting women’s expectations and standards for comprehensive and convenient care.
"The launch of Hims & Hers’ comprehensive Weight Loss Programme and the vital introduction of the Hers platform, our dedicated platform for women, represents a significant deepening of our commitment to the UK,” said David Meinertz, GM International of Hims & Hers. “Our doctor-designed treatment plans will complement the NHS by providing accessible, evidence-based, and sustainable long-term weight management care to those who need it, discreetly and conveniently. Our proven model is grounded in clinical excellence, oversight, and convenience, ensuring that every customer receives the thoughtful, thorough, and high-quality care they deserve."
"Obesity is a global epidemic, and the scale of the challenge in the UK requires a comprehensive solution that prioritises long-term health over quick fixes," said Craig Primack MD, Head of Weight Loss at Hims & Hers. "Bringing our trusted, comprehensive approach to the UK will help people lead fuller and healthier lives. And with the launch of the Hers platform, we are ensuring women have access to the dedicated, personalised care they need. Pairing clinically-proven treatments like GLP-1s with holistic support across nutrition and exercise helps make sustainable weight management achievable for the millions battling obesity today."
Launching its Weight Loss Programme marks the company’s continued progress in its mission to make personalised care accessible to millions of people across the UK. Hims & Hers plans to continue to expand into more offerings as demand for access to personalised care continues to grow.
