About the series
Recognizing those building what's next.
The Futurist 50 is an ongoing recognition series. Each edition names the 50 organizations in one vertical best prepared for what comes next, or the 50 people shaping a role or profession — each measured against the same Future Readiness Score. America's Most Future-Ready Health Systems 2027 is the first edition, announced November 15, 2026.
