Welcome to Tim Lynch!

Please join CLHO in welcoming Tim Lynch as the new local health administrator of Coos Health & Wellness in Coos County!

Tim brings a wealth of expertise to Coos County - he holds a Doctorate in Public Health from Walden University and a Master’s in Healthcare Administration and Management from Colorado State University.

He has over two decades of experience in direct patient care leadership and management roles with EMS, ambulatory outpatient services, community hospitals, orthopedics, and pain management providers. He is also a certified Opioid Treatment Specialist and is skilled in bringing partners together across the healthcare system to address opioid use.

He’s recently led projects aimed at convening partners to combat the opioid crisis in rural Colorado, creating effective resource pathways for individuals with opioid use disorder, and training medical providers on using medicated assisted treatment. Throughout all of this, Tim’s goal is to build resources tailored to community needs and ensure everyone has access to quality healthcare.

Outside of work, you will find Tim in the wilds - he is an avid enthusiast of wilderness and backcountry activities and has volunteered and worked in Mountain rescue in Vermont and Colorado for over 15 years. He is excited to explore the wonderful outdoors of Oregon.

Welcome, Tim - we are happy to have you here!
