After nearly two decades of dedicated leadership, we extend our heartfelt thanks and warmest wishes to Jack Lynch, FACHE, President and CEO of Main Line Health, as he retires from his role with the System. Jack will remain at Main Line Health through June 30 to support Ed Jimenez, incoming President and CEO, with a smooth and seamless transition.

During his tenure, Jack spearheaded significant clinical and operational transformation. He led efforts to create a stronger, unified System by consolidating services, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and elevating standards of care. Under his guidance, Main Line Health consistently earned top marks for patient safety and quality, gaining national recognition for excellence.

While the milestones reached under Jack’s leadership are a testament to his visionary leadership, he has always been the first to say they are not his alone — they are the direct result of the unwavering dedication of Main Line Health’s colleagues, medical staff, volunteers and extended community of supporters.

As Jack says, “They are the reason so many patients and families choose Main Line Health. Our colleagues are committed to delivering safe, high-quality equitable and affordable care to every patient, every day.”

Jack, your legacy of excellence will continue to inspire us for years to come. Congratulations and thank you!
