Thomas Dolan, PhD, president emeritus of the Chicago-based American College of Healthcare Executives, died Oct. 30, according to his obituary. He was 78.
Dr. Dolan spent 27 years at ACHE, including serving as president and CEO from 1991 to 2013, the organization said in a LinkedIn post. During his tenure, ACHE expanded its education, professional development, credentialing and networking work, according to the post.
“Tom’s legacy is woven into the core fabric of ACHE and the healthcare leadership profession,” ACHE President and CEO Deborah Bowen said in the post. “I would not be who I am today as a leader without his guidance, support, friendship and mentorship.”
