Anna Youngerman wins business award.As part of her feature as an honoree, Youngerman reflected on her career and advised young people that “it doesn’t make you weak to not know the answers and to need help… It’s so important — both personally and professionally. There’s so much value in leveraging others and in failing.”

About her work, she said, “It’s no secret that health care is a huge issue in our country but the answers aren’t easy and achieving greater value will require dramatic change. It’s simultaneously exciting and daunting, which is the kind of work that energizes me.”
