As of Jan 2023, Fawn Lopez is Publisher Emeritus of Modern Healthcare, she formerly held the position of Vice President and Publisher from 2005 - 2022. As the industry's leading source of healthcare business and policy news, research and information, Modern Healthcare serves the needs of top healthcare executives by reporting on important healthcare events and trends, as they happen, through our website, e-newsletters, mobile app, and print magazine, and by hosting a dozen annual events and conferences across the country. In her role as publisher, Mrs. Lopez oversaw the editorial, sales and marketing, digital, and audience development associates who together power the Modern Healthcare media brand.

Mrs. Lopez came to Modern Healthcare as associate publisher in October 2001 after serving one of its sister publications, Crain's Chicago Business.

Currently, Ms. Lopez serves on the board of the American Heart Association in Chicago. She also serves on the Dean's Advisory Board at DePaul University-School of Communication. Additionally, Ms. Lopez is a member of the Women Business Leaders of the U.S. Healthcare Industry Foundation, Chicago United, Executives Club of Chicago and the Economic Club of Chicago. In 2007, she co-chaired the 2007 American Heart Association Heart Ball (Chicago), which raised record-breaking revenue. She also served a board member of The Asian Health Care Leaders Association (AHCLA) from 2009 to 2013.
