Gordon Lintz Nationally Recognized as Community Hospital CEO to Know

July 2025 – Gordon Lintz, president and chief administrative officer of Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System and Claiborne Medical Center, has been recognized on Becker’s Hospital Review’s 2025 list of “207 Community Hospital Presidents and CEOs to Know.” It is the third consecutive year Lintz has been named to the list.

Becker’s Hospital Review, a national publication focusing on hospital business news for healthcare executives, characterizes community hospitals as primarily acute-care facilities that function to bridge the gaps in healthcare. Hospital CEOs recognized on the list are “committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective care tailored to the needs of their local communities.” They are also responsible for expanding care offerings, growing service lines, directing long-term strategies and maintaining financial stability.  

Throughout his tenure as hospital administrator at Morristown-Hamblen, Lintz has focused on improving access to high-quality healthcare and recruiting physicians to the area. He is involved with several local organizations and works with them to identify healthcare needs of the community and opportunities for health education. In 2024, Lintz also became the president and chief administrative officer of Claiborne Medical Center.

Two other Covenant Health leaders, Connie Martin, president and chief administrative officer of Fort Loudoun Medical Center, and Jason Pilant, president and chief administrative officer of Roane Medical Center, were also named to the list.
