To celebrate the achievements of the graduating students at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), Jack Lynch, FACHE, president and CEO of Main Line Health, will deliver the 2025 Commencement address on Thursday, May 22, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Lynch, who will retire June 30 after 20 years of service at Main Line Health, has strengthened their commitment to safety, quality and equity, and expanded the health system’s network to better serve the needs of the Main Line and western suburban communities.
“I’m thrilled about the opportunity to address the student body, their loved ones and the faculty, at Commencement and really reinforce how important the relationship with Main Line Health and PCOM is,” Lynch said on a recent PCOM Perspectives episode hosted by PCOM President and CEO Jay S. Feldstein, DO '81.
PCOM’s Commencement celebrates the completion of degree requirements for all doctoral and graduate programs in the College of Osteopathic Medicine, School of Professional and Applied Psychology, and the School of Health Professions and Sciences.
The ceremony will be held from 1-4 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.
