TIME'S NOW for Women Healthcare Leaders: A Guide for the Journey
Women comprise over 80 percent of healthcare frontline employees,
but they often hit the proverbial glass ceiling. Only 30 percent of
healthcare C-suite Executives and less than 15% of CEOs are women.
Moreover, while 51 percent of medical students are women, only 16
percent of the Department Chairs and Deans are women. Clearly,
women are facing barriers to achieving their potential, limiting
their ability to add their unique talents and skills to the tables
of leadership. The author provides extensive detail on these
barriers and approaches to their solutions. This is a practical
"how-to" book that will help women in healthcare envision their
ability to contribute and inspire them to lead. The author sees
this as not only helping women, but also facilitating solving
healthcare's myriad problems, improving health and benefitting
society. *** This book is a must-read primer for women seeking
leadership. It is practical, thought provoking, and carefully
researched, addressing why women's leadership is important and how
women can be better leaders. Gabow's approach capitalizes on
interviews with strong women leaders. She uses the notions she
learned from the interviews coupled with research from the
literature to create an easy-to-read, motivating, and challenging
book for women and men! Nancy Agee President and CEO Carilion
Clinic Past Chair American Hospital Association TIME'S NOW for
Women Healthcare Leaders is filled with powerful examples of how
women have overcome multiple obstacles and prevailed on their
leadership journeys. It is a MUST read for women and men about the
obstacles to be overcome, potholes to avoid, and the shout outs to
be given to women who every minute, every hour, every day are
committed to human caring. It has captured the heart and spirits of
women from diverse backgrounds who have and continue to demonstrate
their commitment to making society a better place for all! Linda

engaging book addresses the relative dearth of women leaders in
healthcare through thoughtful assessment of how leaders' values and
actions can improve healthcare within healthcare organizations and
systems. Dr. Gabow, an exceptional leader whose relentless passion

with current statistics about women in medicine, experiences of
other successful women leaders, and mentoring skills to offer wise
counsel to all current and future leaders. The thoughtful
distillation of practical wisdom offered here make this book a
unique contribution and highly relevant to healthcare in America
today. Carolyn Clancy, M.D. Past Director, Agency for Healthcare
