Loran Hauck ’76-A, an executive coach at AdventHealth Leadership Institute, works with physicians and healthcare leaders, emphasizing emotional intelligence, trust, and effective communication. His coaching reflects a core belief shaped early in his training: every physician is a leader, whether in the exam room, hospital ward, or boardroom.
In the months leading up to his 50th anniversary as a graduate of the School of Medicine, Hauck has spent countless hours with a planning team and with the Alumni Association to create a memorable homecoming for members of his class.
After completing his internal medicine residency at Loma Linda, Hauck spent ten years in private practice. He then focused on education during his eight years as a member of the faculty at Loma Linda. His career later expanded into healthcare leadership, where he served 17 years as a corporate chief medical officer with AdventHealth, guiding clinical strategy and supporting physicians across complex healthcare systems.
In 2017, Hauck retired from executive leadership while continuing to contribute to medicine’s broader mission through executive coaching. He is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a graduate of the School of Medicine this year.
His story shows that a medical degree is not only preparation for practice, it also encourages lifelong leadership, influencing colleagues, trainees, and leaders alike.
