Jean Halpin Named President of OhioHealth Grant Medical Center
OhioHealth is pleased to announce that, as of Dec. 30, Jean Halpin has been named President of OhioHealth Grant Medical Center. Halpin assumed this role following the departure of Michael Lawson, who accepted a role as Market President at CommonSpirit in Houston, TX.
Halpin has been with OhioHealth for 33 years, serving in a variety of clinical and administrative positions across the system including most recently as Chief Operations Officer (COO) at Grant Medical Center.
In addition to assuming her role as President, Halpin will also be responsible for system EMS and will continue serving as Vice President of Customer Experience for the OhioHealth system until a transition plan is finalized.
“I am honored and excited to assume the role of President at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center,” said Halpin. “This is a time of immense growth at the only adult hospital downtown and there is so much to look forward to here. I’m proud to be part of a team of leaders, physicians, nurses and associates that are so committed to providing access to high-quality care for our community.”
Since 2022, Halpin’s strategic and operational leadership as Grant’s COO has been integral throughout all areas of the hospital. This includes championing both the planning and success of the hospital’s expansion, Grant 2028 Impact: Access to Care for All.
Other career highlights for Halpin include her instrumental role in the development of OhioHealth’s outpatient division and serving as President of OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital during the hospital’s integration into the OhioHealth system in 2014. She was named one of the 15 Most Powerful and Influential Women of Ohio in 2014 by the National Diversity Council. She is also on the Columbus Public Health Board of Directors.
