Leadership Health Care, an initiative of the Nashville Health Care Council to nurture the talents of future health care leaders, has announced its 2013 award winners.

Jason Moore, founder and CEO of Stratasan, received the health care emerging leader of the year award. Stratasan was the first company accepted into Nashvilles Entrepreneur Centers incubator program, and since its launch, Moore has played an active role in shaping Nashvilles HIT landscape.

Volunteer of the year is Maggie Spalding, vice president of Alliant Insurance Services. Spalding is an exceptional supporter of LHC programs and has donated her time to volunteer at several events this year. Her enthusiasm for the organization while interacting with other members and prospective members represents LHC at the highest level.

HCA was named the supporting organization of the year for its ongoing commitment to LHC and enriching the next generation of health care industry leaders. The company engaged in numerous LHC events through speakers, membership participation and leadership on the LHC Board of Directors and committees, and has been an advocate for LHC and the council for many years.

R. Milton Johnson, who will become president and CEO of HCA in January, accepted the award on the companys behalf.

The involvement of members like Jason and Maggie and organizations like HCA contributed significantly to member growth and engagement in LHC this year, said LHC Director Jenni Bradley. This group is a fine representation of the emerging leaders in Nashvilles nationally recognized health care industry, and we are appreciative of their involvement in LHC.

Leadership Health Care was formed in 2002 as an initiative of the Nashville Health Care Council to foster the next generation of health care leaders by creating educational and networking opportunities for members. The organizations mission is to cultivate the talent of health care professionals into the health care leaders of tomorrow.
