Lance Lynch, ACP Healthcare SIG Committee Chair, has spearheaded each Healthcare SIG Executive Committee meeting and facilitated a highly engaging and successful introductory Healthcare SIG Webinar on Hurricane Preparedness last April.

He is Director of Enterprise Clinical Downtime for HCA Healthcare’s Emergency Operations Team and is relocating to Nashville, TN.

Before taking on his new role, he served as the director of Emergency Management and Business Continuity for a Fort Worth, TX, Level 1 Trauma Center and several hospitals. Additionally, Lance has spent a few years supporting healthcare resilience teams by growing a healthcare-specific program for a leading software platform.

How long have you been a member of ACP? And what compelled you to join, stay for so many years? I joined the ACP in January of 2021... Since then, I've served in the mentor program and have been a partner of the North Texas and Greater Houston Chapters. The value of the ACP is that it provides a seamless connection point to such a robust, diverse group of resilience professionals across multiple industries.

How has your involvement in ACP and your chapter benefited you in your profession? In addition to learning from our peers within the ACP, we're regularly treated to different thought-leadership presentations from industry leaders to which we wouldn't typically be privy without the costs of conference admission.

Name a few of your most recent accomplishments you would like to share? Over the course of the past few months, I've accepted a role with HCA Healthcare's Enterprise Emergency Operations Team, a group I've admired for nearly a decade. Additionally, spinning up the Healthcare Special Interest Group Steering Committee has been a lot of fun and extremely rewarding.

How do you spend your free time? In the midst of a family relocation and the logistics of my family's summer vacation, the concept of 'free time' feels a little foreign... but when I DO have free time, I enjoy spending it with my family and traveling. I also enjoy viewing life through-the-lens as a professional photographer.
