For nearly two decades Amy Fallon, PhD, has been shaping the way health care operates—by making things work. As an engineer, she sees patterns where others see problems.  

She is the steady hand behind the regional expansion of Children’s Mercy, ensuring more families can access world-class pediatric care without having to travel hours away. Amy leads the day-to-day operations for Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas and oversees strategic growth initiatives outside of Kansas City.  

Amy is motivated by people and a good challenge and often finds her inspiration where these two intersect. With an undergraduate degree in engineering and a doctorate in management, she believes every problem has a solution. Whether working with teams or helping patients and families, Amy finds fulfillment in developing leaders and facilitating easier care paths for patients. 

Amy was named a 2025 Kansas City Business Journal NextGen Leader, recognizing her exceptional leadership and contributions to the community. She is also actively involved in community service, serving as a Board Member for the Children's Mercy + Camber Mental Health Joint Venture, participating in the Overland Park Chamber Talent Council, and contributing to the Kansas Hospital Association’s Leadership and Governance Committee and Workforce Development Committees.
