James
E.S. HYNES “
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, I WANTED TO BE INVOLVED WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY, NOT SIMPLY THOSE WHO HAD THE MEANS TO AFFORD HEALTHCARE. THIS ORGANIZATION, REGARDLESS OF ITS NAME AT ANY POINT IN TIME, HAS REMAINED TRUE TO THAT MISSION SINCE DAY ONE. — JAMES E. S. HYNES

“HISTORIC GLUE” OF ATRIUM HEALTH BOARD LEADERSHIP The name James E. S. “Jim” Hynes is synonymous with the history of Atrium Health. Looking back 50 years, you’d find Jim Hynes beginning his initial volunteer work on the original advisory board of what was then called Charlotte Memorial Hospital. Since then, his service has spanned decades, during which he held key roles on the Carolinas HealthCare System board, serving as vice chair from 1985 to 1999 and chair from 2000 to 2012. In 2013, he joined the board of Atrium Health Foundation and will wrap up his term at the end of this year. His next step will be serving as a founding member of the Atrium Health Enterprise Board.
