The July 2026 issue of Business by LA Times Studios profiles Robert Stone, the man behind City of Hope, recognized as a Lifetime Achievement honoree at our second annual 2026 Los Angeles Executive Forum & Leadership Awards for growing the hospital system's treatment models, locations and revenue without losing the deeply human empathy that defines it. This edition also honors the full slate of honorees, finalists and nominees from this year's Forum, and examines how retired chief executives are navigating successful leadership transitions through a continuously managed, multi-year succession playbook. It presents our comprehensive annual index of Top Southern California Hospitals, ranking the region's leading nonprofit healthcare networks by patient revenue, explores how AI-native startups are winning the "last mile" of enterprise AI across healthtech, fintech and national defense, and spotlights the Business of Sports Visionaries, profiling the executives and dealmakers working behind the scenes to define Southern California's status as the sports capital of the world.
