Gordon Lintz has served as the President and Chief Administrative Officer of Morristown-Hamblen Healthcare System since 2012. He also became President and CAO of Claiborne Medical Center in August 2024.

Lintz joined Covenant Health in 2008 as administrator of the health system’s Thompson Cancer Survival Center. He simultaneously oversaw Covenant HomeCare (including hospice services and durable medical equipment services) and Covenant Senior Services. During that time, he also coordinated research conducted within Covenant Health, including Thompson’s clinical trials, and ensured compliance with federal and billing regulations.

Prior to joining Covenant Health, Lintz spent more than 20 years at Baptist Memorial Healthcare in Memphis, working in administrative leadership and nursing roles, and as administrator of a skilled nursing facility and Baptist Centers for Cancer Care. Lintz studied Business at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, and received his Master’s in Healthcare Administration from Washington University in St. Louis, MO. After 10+ years in healthcare administration, he went to nursing school at Southwest Tennessee Community College, Memphis, TN. Becoming a practicing nurse, Lintz was an administrator by day and a nurse in post-anesthesia care and intensive care several evenings a week. This strategic step gave him a unique level of knowledge and experience in patient care and hospital operations.

Lintz was named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s 2023 list of “107 Community Hospital CEOs to Know.” Lintz was the 2017 chairman of the Morristown Area Chamber of Commerce, serves an honorary trustee of Walters State Community College, participates on the board of several local non-profits and leads the service committee of his local Rotary Club. He received the Tennessee Hospital Association’s Meritorious Service Award in 2018.
