7. Roper St. Francis Healthcare
Internal promotion to CMO signals a focus on strengthening brand, communications, and patient engagement rather than a full strategic reset.
Trigger
Roper St. Francis Healthcare promoted Andy Lyons to Chief Marketing and Communications Officer in March 2026 after serving in interim and communications leadership roles for over a decade.
Why This Matters
An internal appointment suggests continuity in strategy, with emphasis on enhancing reputation, internal alignment, and patient engagement. Lyons’ background in communications, media relations, and crisis management points to a focus on trust-building, service line growth support, and improving digital and content-driven patient access rather than large-scale repositioning.

Trigger
