Modern Healthcare Names Vituity CEO To Most Influential People in Healthcare List

EMERYVILLE, Calif. (December 18, 2021)—Vituity CEO Imamu “Mu” Tomlinson, MD, MBA, has been selected as one of Modern Healthcare’s Most Influential People in Healthcare for 2021. This national award honors individuals in healthcare who are deemed by their peers and the senior editors of Modern Healthcare to be the most influential individuals in the industry in terms of leadership and impact.

This distinction marks the third national award bestowed to Dr. Tomlinson in 2021, following his inclusion on the lists of Modern Healthcare’s 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives and Fierce Healthcare’s Most Influential Minority Executives.

Dr. Tomlinson was selected in part due to his championing of integrated care models that extend care beyond the hospital walls and into the communities that need it most. Through partnerships with leading hospitals, health systems, and community allies nationwide, Dr. Tomlinson has led Vituity and its more than 5,000 providers to deliver on their promise to make care available and accessible to all while building patient trust and confidence.

To extend Vituity’s reach into underrepresented communities, Dr. Tomlinson founded the Vituity Cares Foundation in 2020 and serves as its president. In addition to improving healthcare access, the foundation also addresses the social determinants of health and nurtures tomorrow’s diverse clinicians and healthcare leaders in the communities Vituity serves.

“I’m proud that Vituity is recognized as a force in healthcare,” says Dr. Tomlinson. “More than anything, this acknowledgment shows that putting the patient front and center in care delivery is where healthcare needs to go. Through the positive influence of our 7,000 clinicians and employees, Vituity embodies this mission to meet patients when, where, and how they need us.”
