Kevin A. Roberts, FACHE, president and chief executive officer of Glendale Adventist Medical Center, was among five healthcare leaders from across the U.S. and Canada who were selected for induction into the Fire Starter Hall of Fame. This is the highest award for excellence given by Studer Group, a Huron Healthcare solution.

A “fire starter” refers to an individual who ignites the flames of passion for healthcare excellence. The Fire Starter Hall of Fame award recognizes  leaders who, through their dedication and passion, guide and support an organization’s commitment to excellence while keeping the true spirit of an organization alive and flourishing.

The Fire Starter Hall of Fame award is given annually in conjunction with Studer Group’s best practices conference, What’s Right in Health Care®, which attracts top-performing healthcare organizations from the U.S., Canada and Australia.

Roberts will join Brian Dieter, FACHE, president and chief executive officer of Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames, Iowa, Pauline Grant, MBA, chief executive officer of Broward Health System in Pompano, Florida, William “Bill” Sexton, chief executive officer of Crossing Rivers Health in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin and Eric Hanna, president and CEO, Arnprior Regional Health in Arnprior, Ontario, Canada in being inducted into the Fire Starter Hall of Fame at the 14th annual conference on Aug. 2-4 in Chicago, Illinois.

Since its inception in 2004, more than 40 healthcare leaders have been named to the Fire Starter Hall of Fame.
