Morgan Best, MHA, MBA, CEC
BHC 40 Under 40 | Class of 2026 | From the Ground Up
Founder and CEO | M.L. Best Consulting | Charlotte, NC
Morgan Best is a founder, strategist, and talent architect building at the intersection of healthcare leadership and organizational growth. Through M.L. Best Consulting, she partners with organizations navigating transformation and helps them develop the leaders who move that work forward.
Her approach is grounded in a clear philosophy. Leadership, when rooted in purpose, has the power to reshape industries and communities alike.
The Journey
Best’s connection to healthcare began long before her professional career.
She grew up in a healthcare household, which gave her early exposure to the field. When she later discovered the leadership and business side of healthcare, the direction became clear.
"It was the beginning of an exciting journey that ultimately led me to my purpose."
That purpose has remained consistent. She focuses on attracting, developing, and advocating for leaders who are aligned with improving outcomes in underserved communities.
What This Recognition Means
For Best, the recognition reflects the collective impact of the people and communities who have shaped her work.
It is both acknowledgment and affirmation. It reinforces her belief that purpose-driven leadership creates lasting change and that the work she is doing is aligned with something larger than any single role or organization.
What’s Next
Her focus is on scaling M.L. Best Consulting in a way that preserves the integrity of the work while expanding its reach.
Growth, for her, is not only about size. It is about sustaining impact without losing purpose.
"Reach back as you climb."
Best’s work is rooted in a simple idea. When leaders are developed with intention, the ripple effects extend far beyond any one organization.
