Does Your Company Need a Chief Medical Officer?
By: Tsedal Neeley
Abstract
With the Covid-19 pandemic still raging but businesses trying to remain operational, organizations now have a life or death role to play in protecting the health of employees, customers, and the public. That means they need a new executive in the C-suite: a chief medical officer. Constellation Brands made such an appointment recently not only for today’s extenuating circumstances but also for long-term growth. There are three reasons: employee health, customer safety, and regulatory compliance.
