Grady’s Impact Shines in Georgia Trend’s 2026 Honors

Congratulations to Grady President and CEO John Haupert for being named the 2026 Georgian of the Year by Georgia Trend!

Since 2011, John’s thoughtful, steady leadership has guided Grady through challenges and put the health system in a position of strength, supporting the region’s health care ecosystem, improving our overall economy and enhancing the metro area’s quality of life.

You can learn more about the ways John’s mission-driven, business-minded approach benefits not only Grady, but every organization he touches, in Georgia Trend’s January issue.

Georgia Trend also inducted Grady Health Foundation Board Chair Shan Cooper into the Most Influential Hall of Fame for shaping Georgia’s civic and business landscape. Her mantra of “mission first, people always” reflects her commitment to giving back to the Atlanta community and creating positive change.

Kudos to Grady Health Foundation Board member Riley Blount for being included in the 2026 100 Most Influential Georgians and Grady Health Foundation President Joselyn Baker for being named among the 2026 Notable Georgians.
