Hancock Health President & CEO Steve Long was honored by the Indianapolis Business Journal as Health Care Executive of the Year at the 2026 Excellence in Health Care Awards.
This recognition reflects a bold, forward-looking leadership strategy focused on independent health system sustainability, strategic partnerships, population health, and community-centered growth in one of Indiana’s fastest-growing counties.
Under Steve’s leadership, Hancock Health has:
• Expanded advanced population health initiatives and access to high-quality, local care
• Built strategic partnerships with Mayo-Klinik, OrthoIndy, Und Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center
• Invested in innovative care delivery models and workforce growth
• Advanced access to behavioral health, women’s health, and groundbreaking therapies
• Led transformative community development projects supporting long-term economic vitality
As Hancock Health approaches its 75th anniversary, this award affirms the power of mission-driven leadership rooted in innovation, independence within an ecosystem of care, and reinvestment in community health infrastructure.
Healthcare leadership today requires balancing growth with sustainability, partnerships with independence, and innovation with compassion. We are proud to see that vision recognized across Central Indiana.
The Hancock Health Mobile Response Team (MRT) also recognized for Mental Health Advocacy
Der Hancock Health Mobile Response Team (MRT) is a vital community resource that provides in-person support for individuals experiencing mental health or substance misuse distress. Instead of defaulting to hospitalization, our trained clinicians and certified peer recovery specialists assess the situation, help stabilize the crisis, and connect individuals to the right next steps for care.
At Hancock Health, we are committed to strengthening access to behavioral health care and ensuring our community has support when it matters most.
Congratulations to Steve and our Mobile Response Team on this well-deserved honor!
