Chuck Lauer Retires From Modern Healthcare
CHICAGO, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ — After more than 30 years with Modern Healthcare, longtime publisher Charles S. Lauer announced his retirement effective Feb. 2.
Lauer is the magazine’s editorial director and vice president of publishing, as well as a vice president within Crain Communications (Modern Healthcare’s parent company). Previously, Lauer served as publisher of Modern Healthcare from 1976 until 2005. Known throughout the healthcare industry and beyond, Lauer has also added author, public speaker and award-winning businessman to his many titles.
“Under Chuck’s personable and hard-driving leadership, he took Modern Healthcare from its status as a monthly money-losing proposition with great potential to one of profitability and long-standing dominance in its field,” said Keith Crain, chairman of Crain Communications.
Lauer will remain active in the healthcare industry; he will continue to write his column, “Lauer’s Letter,” which appears weekly in the magazine’s op/ed section, serve on the boards of several healthcare organizations and continue his widely-popular corporate speaking engagements. Lauer also may work with Modern Healthcare on selected special projects and events.
“I want to thank all the people whom I’ve worked with over the years who’ve made Modern Healthcare the leading business publication in the industry,” Lauer said. “I also want to thank all the people in the field that have made the healthcare system in the United States the greatest industry in this country and the envy of the world.”
“Chuck’s passion and unwavering commitment to the success of Modern Healthcare helped the magazine establish itself as the ‘go-to’ book for healthcare leaders,” said Fawn Lopez, publisher of Modern Healthcare.
