鈥�40 Under 40 remains the Business Journal鈥檚 most competitive recognition program. Once again, nearly 600 nominations were received, culminating in the compilation of over 300 application packets with thousands of pages of submission materials for our judging panel to review,鈥� said Ian Anderson, Business Journal market president and publisher. 鈥淲hile the selection process is not an exact science, the core focus of the Business Journal judges continues to be on a nominee鈥檚 sphere of influence and measurable impact within their industry and in our community.鈥�
This is Dr. Patel鈥檚 second major recognition in the last nine months. In December 2023, he was named to the Becker鈥檚 Hospital Review of Top CMIOs and CNIOs to Know in 2023, a leading source of hospital business news and analysis for the health care industry.
