LAWNDALE CHRISTIAN HEALTH CENTER ANNOUNCES CEO TRANSITION
After more than 20 years of service at LCHC, Bruce Miller announces plans to retire.
CHICAGO – Lawndale Christian Health Center (LCHC) recently announced the planned retirement of current CEO, Bruce E. Miller. Mr. Miller’s career at LCHC began in 1998 when he served as the organization’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Ten years later, in 2008, he transitioned into the Chief Executive Officer role and has faithfully served in that role since.
Mr. Miller and his wife, Kathryn, moved to North Lawndale from Pittsburgh when they both began working at LCHC – Bruce as COO and CFO, and Kathryn as a physician. For over 20 years, they have been active members of the North Lawndale community. Mr. Miller says, “There is a beautiful simplicity to working in one’s own neighborhood. It’s easy to find meaning in our work when we see our neighbors utilizing LCHC’s buildings and services.”
Throughout his time as CEO, Mr. Miller has channeled his passion for quality facilities and excellence in healthcare into many major building projects and expansions, particularly along Ogden Avenue where the clinic began. These include the Health and Fitness Center, Farm on Ogden, Senior Center, Immediate Care Clinic & Pharmacy, and additional clinic sites throughout the West Side. The staff has grown from 135 to over 650 employees across all locations. LCHC’s patient population has more than doubled, and the organization has added an array of new services while maintaining financial stability alongside its expansion.
Mr. Miller plans to retire at end of December of 2021 but will remain in the North Lawndale community for the time being and will enjoy traveling, tennis, and continuing to invest in his neighborhood and his relationships.
A national search is being led by the Lawndale Christian Health Center Board, steered by Rochelle Foster, and conducted by our search partner KEES / Alford Executive Search. Our search partnership with KEES Executive Search will identify our next Chief Executive Officer to lead LCHC into the future with a heart of Christ-like compassion and exceptional healthcare leadership.
