In the Social Impact category of the Fierce 50, we recognize those who are reshaping the landscape of health and well-being by acting on the issues that matter most. These honorees don’t just acknowledge the challenges—they tackle them head-on, driving change in ways that ripple across communities and industries alike.

From addressing gun violence to uncovering a public health crisis, this group of honorees is using their platforms and resources to lead conversations and create solutions. They’re not afraid to take on difficult, sometimes polarizing, topics, and in doing so, they set the bar for what social responsibility in healthcare and biopharma can look like.

Whether sparking global movements or creating grassroots initiatives, these leaders are making a lasting difference in their fields and beyond.
