Austin, TX – March 2026 – A premier global business publication known for profiling the visionaries and trailblazers who are redefining the corporate and social landscapes, is proud to announce that RaeAnn Grossman, CEO of HLTHworks, has been featured in its latest prestige edition: “The 10 Most Empowering Women Leaders to Follow in 2026.”

This annual selection honors a curated group of leaders who have demonstrated unparalleled resilience, visionary thinking, and a transformative impact on their industries. RaeAnn Grossman’s inclusion highlights her extraordinary role as a “healthcare architect and builder”, a leader dedicated to repairing the fragmented pieces of the global healthcare ecosystem.

An Architect in the Arena of Healthcare

Healthcare is widely regarded as one of the most difficult and highly regulated industries in the world. In this demanding sector, RaeAnn Grossman has carved out a distinctive space as a leading expert in transformation and innovation. Her career reflects a life spent “in the arena,” personifying the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt’s famous quote: “It is not the critic who counts… but the man in the arena.”

As the CEO of HLTHworks, RaeAnn approaches healthcare as both a sprint and a marathon. Recognizing that while the industry is often fragmented and slow to evolve, patients cannot wait for change. Her daily mission is clear: to simplify care, restore dignity to the patient experience, and make healthcare work the way it should for providers and patients alike.

Leading with Credibility and Perseverance

RaeAnn’s success is the result of relentless hard work and a commitment to excellence. Throughout her career, she has frequently been the only woman at the table during high-stakes acquisitions involving venture capital, private equity, and strategic buyers. These experiences sharpened her resolve and conviction, teaching her to lead with credibility, composure, and results, regardless of the environment.

At HLTHworks, RaeAnn has turned the challenge of healthcare bureaucracy into an opportunity for “making the broken beautiful.” By synthesizing complex systems into simple, elegant, and accountable frameworks, she has enabled organizations to deliver high-quality care consistently and with empathy.

A Legacy of Doing Good

Under RaeAnn’s leadership, HLTHworks has supported the growth and revitalization of more than 50 healthcare organizations since 2024. Her achievements include redesigning community health systems to be more patient-centric, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in improved performance and reduced costs. These savings are directly reinvested into benefits, access, and care delivery, effectively slowing physician burnout and increasing community wellness.

“RaeAnn Grossman embodies the spirit of an empowering leader, one who transforms obstacles into infrastructure,” stated the editorial team. “She is not just leading a firm; she is redesigning healthcare to serve patients first, not systems.”
