Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health, will be the keynote speaker at the 17th annual Long Island Press Power List networking event at The Carltun in East Meadow on Feb. 27.

Northwell Health President and CEO Michael Dowling is challenging fellow leaders of major health care corporations to match the $1 million he pledged to help combat gun violence.

During his tenure as CEO, the healthcare system has opened medical and nursing schools in conjunction with Hofstra University; launched the state’s first provider-owned insurance plan; and expanded into Greater New York.

At the state level, the economic impact of the Affordable Care Act’s repeal would mean a loss of $595 million. According to the governor, New York’s counties have been able to directly use the additional federal Medicaid funding through Obamacare to lower property taxes.

The Power List is an opportunity to shine a well-deserved spotlight on the lives and efforts of some whom would otherwise go unrecognized, unheralded, unknown, and bring much-needed attention and awareness to their causes. It likewise intensifies the spotlight on the efforts and actions of those already in the limelight.

“The success and longevity of Long Island businesses are so vitally important. 2015 proved that Long Island businesses are committed to remaining in the region, with a substantial increase for economic confidence, which this year received its highest rating since the recession began in 2008.”
