Recognition from The Women’s Edge and The Boston Globe highlights the health system’s leadership, innovation, and commitment to the communities it serves.
Sturdy Health has been named one of the 2026 Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts by The Women’s Edge in partnership with The Boston Globe. The independent, nonprofit health system, led by President and CEO Aimee Brewer, ranked No. 21 on the annual list recognizing women-led organizations making significant contributions to the Massachusetts economy and the communities they serve.
Now in its 26th year, the Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts program recognizes organizations across industries for their leadership, innovation, workplace diversity, and impact. Rankings are determined using an algorithm that considers revenue or operating budget, workforce composition, management diversity, and organizational innovation.
“While this recognition celebrates women-led organizations, Sturdy Health’s success is the result of the dedication and contributions of our entire team,” said Aimee Brewer, President and CEO of Sturdy Health. “From the clinicians caring for patients to the many professionals working behind the scenes, every member of our organization plays an important role in fulfilling our mission. Their expertise, compassion, and commitment to one another have made it possible for us to grow, innovate, and strengthen the care we provide to our communities. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together and grateful to work alongside such an extraordinary team.”
Since becoming president and CEO in 2021, Brewer has guided Sturdy Health through a period of significant growth and transformation, advancing initiatives to expand access to care, modernize facilities, strengthen clinical services, and support the health system’s long-term sustainability.
Founded in 1913, Sturdy Health has grown into an integrated healthcare system serving communities across Southeastern Massachusetts and neighboring Rhode Island. As Attleboro’s largest employer and a significant contributor to the regional economy, Sturdy Health plays an important role in both the health and economic vitality of the communities it serves.
The 2026 honorees will be recognized at The Women’s Edge Top 100 Women-Led Businesses Awards Breakfast on Oct. 30 in Boston. The complete ranked list will also appear in the Nov. 1 Women & Power issue of The Boston Globe Magazine.
