As of December 2011, women run one-fourth of the 111 hospitals licensed by the state of Massachusetts (excluding behavioral health and psychiatric facilities). In Katie Johnson’s Boston Globe article, Women take charge at Mass. hospitals, she reports that “across the country, about a quarter of hospitals are run by women, about the same percentage as in Massachusetts.
