Chuck Lauer: Champion for Hospital CEOs

For 25 years, Charles “Chuck” Lauer served as publisher of Modern Healthcare. He helped stabilize the magazine, bringing it from an unprofitable, monthly publication to one of the top healthcare news weeklies. In addition to his role as publisher, Mr. Lauer has also spent time as the American Medical Association’s director of communications and has held a variety of executive management roles with several publishing companies.

Mr. Lauer is known for his empathetic and energetic attitude towards the healthcare industry, particularly hospitals. A background in journalism has left him skilled at asking broad-minded questions that leave hospital executives thinking. Now an author, public speaker and career coach, Mr. Lauer speaks to at least one healthcare CEO per day and maintains a firm grasp on industry trends and concerns. He continually encourages hospital leaders to approach the tumultuous industry with ingenuity and dedication.

“Chuck is one of the most inspirational leaders one can ever have the pleasure to work with, in any capacity. He is a true leader — enthusiastic and smart with great personal integrity and drive,” says Scott Becker, JD, CPA, partner with McGuireWoods in Chicago and publisher of Becker’s Hospital Review.

Mr. Lauer has authored three books on leadership: Soar With the Eagles, Reach for the Stars and Decency. Additionally, he regularly pens columns and op-eds about healthcare reform and leadership for Becker’s Hospital Review.

On Thursday, May 17, Mr. Lauer will moderate a keynote panel on the unintended consequences of the Affordable Care Act at the 2012 Becker’s Hospital Review Annual Meeting in Chicago. Learn more and register here.
