Virginia 500 July 2025 Spotlight: Michael J. Lutes
VIRGINIA STATE PRESIDENT AND RICHMOND MARKET PRESIDENT, BON SECOURS MERCY HEALTH, RICHMOND
PLAN FOR 10 YEARS FROM NOW: God willing, I hope to be retired and traveling the world. I’m a lifelong learner with a deep love for history and culture. I enjoy learning about different traditions and experiencing all that the world has to offer.
MOST INTERESTING PLACE I’VE TRAVELED: The Vatican. It’s truly a treasure trove of art, history and religious significance. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit twice, and each time I’m in awe. I hope to spend more time there, so I can better appreciate all that it has to offer.
ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE: I’m always thinking about what I could be doing more of, or better. But to me, that’s not a burden — I genuinely love what I do, so it often doesn’t feel like work.
DOGS OR CATS? I’m definitely a dog person. I have two Aussie doodles who bring joy, love and a whole lot of energy into our lives. They make the world a better place.
DID YOU KNOW? Before joining Bon Secours Mercy Health, Lutes served 15 years in various leadership roles at Atrium Health (now Advocate Health), a large health system based in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he oversaw five hospitals.
