B. Lyn Behrens, MBBS, president and CEO of Loma Linda University Adventist Health Sciences Center, was honored with the citizen of the year award by the Loma Linda Chamber of Commerce. The award was presented January 31 at the Hilton of San Bernardino, site of the chamber’s Annual Community Awards and Installation of Officers Dinner.

“She is a very capable person,” says Elsie Chan, owner of Spectrotape Corp., and the member of the chamber board of directors who nominated Dr. Behrens for the award. “She is very, very qualified.”

Nominated individuals were judged on contributions to the growth and development of Loma Linda and enhancement of the community’s reputation.

Under her leadership, LLUMC has grown to include the Children’s Hospital, the SAC Health System clinics, and various outreach projects across the globe.

In response to being named Loma Linda’s citizen of the year, Dr. Behrens said, “I accept your challenge to share and care.”
