Modern Healthcare magazine has named Charles Sorenson, the president and CEO of Intermountain Health, to its list of the "100 Most Influential People in Healthcare."

Sorenson was 97th on the list that included luminaries such the Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts in the No. 1 spot, President Barack Obama at No. 4 and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at No. 13.

The annual ranking recognizes men and women in a variety of positions who are considered among the most influential throughout the healthcare industry, as chosen by readers of the magazine.

Earlier this year, the magazine recognized Sorenson and Brent James, chief quality officer of Intermountain Healthcare, among the "50 Most Influential Physician Executives in Healthcare."
