Becker’s Recognizes Overlake President & CEO Jon Duarte Among 2026 Top Community Hospital Leaders
We are pleased to share that Becker’s Hospital Review named Overlake President & CEO Jon Duarte on its 2025 list of Community hospital CEOs to know.
"The best community hospitals are deliberately built and improved upon by leaders who understand that the health of an institution and the health of its community are inseparable," stated Becker's in its announcement. "Their portfolios span acute care, primary care, rehabilitation, public health services and whatever else their communities require. They are deeply committed to accessible, high-quality care, to cultures where talented people want to build careers, and to sustainable, long-term growth."
According to Becker’s, “The community hospital CEOs recognized here are community stewards, strategic visionaries and patient advocates. While acute care remains central to their mission, these forward-thinking executives also prioritize expanding their institutions’ offerings, making sure to weave primary care, specialty treatments, rehabilitation and public health programs into a broader picture of community health.”
Duarte was named president and chief executive officer of Overlake Medical Center & Clinics and chief executive of MultiCare Health System’s new North Puget Sound region in January 2025 after more than a decade overseeing Overlake’s partnership and specialty programs.
