Peace Care Appoints New Administrators
Peace Care, with the blessing of the Congregation Leadership Team of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, has appointed two seasoned long-term care professionals to lead their skilled nursing communities in Jersey City. Robert Reyes, MBA, LNHA, CNHA, FACHCA, is the new administrator at Peace Care St. Ann’s, and Donald Lynch, MPA, LNHA, is the new administrator at Peace Care St. Joseph’s.
Reyes comes to Peace Care St. Ann’s with more than 20 years of senior management experience in the healthcare space, including more than 10 years as a licensed nursing home administrator. Most recently, he served as the executive administrator for three Spring Hills post-acute facilities. Reyes holds a bachelor’s degree from New York University and an MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He is also the current president of the N.J. Chapter of the American College of Health Care Administrators.
“As the servant leader of Peace Care St. Ann’s, I am very honored and excited to continue to model the mission and values of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace,” Reyes explained. “It is my goal to work with all of the associates, physicians and clinicians to make Peace Care St. Ann’s a Center of Excellence for the surrounding community.”
A seasoned nursing home administrator, Lynch brings a wealth of experience in long-term and sub-acute care as he has served as an administrator for more than 30 years. He succeeds Thomas P. Sheehy Jr., who served as the administrator at Peace Care St. Joseph’s for 15 years and transformed the center from a traditional nursing home into a 5-star skilled nursing facility offering both long-term care and sub-acute rehab. Lynch holds both a bachelor's degree and a master’s degree in public administration from Seton Hall University.
"It's an honor and a pleasure to be a part of such a talented group of healthcare professionals,” Lynch said. “I look forward to working with the Peace Care St. Joseph’s team to provide the care and compassion our community expects."
“We are pleased to have two exceptional administrators in Bob Reyes and Don Lynch leading our communities,” said Kyle Hreben, MBA, Peace Care chief operating officer. “It is quite evident that both Bob and Don are committed to both the residents and the Peace Care mission of providing care with dignity in the healing of the whole person.”
