President George Hanbury announced Dr. Harry K. Moon will become NSU’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, beginning July 15.
In this role, Moon will be responsible for the efficient management of the university’s administrative operations. Having held several executive positions for Cleveland Clinic Florida, Moon will have a specific focus on student and patient centered clinical performance.
“Dr. Moon is joining NSU at a pivotal moment in our history; one that needs exactly the brand of leadership that he will bring to this critical position in our executive team,” said Hanbury. “His vast experience with complex systems will translate well to the world of higher education at a time when educating tomorrow’s health care providers is more important than ever. He is the right person for the right job, and precisely the right time.”
For the past 25 years, Moon has been working diligently to improve the medical, research and educational programs in South Florida. Among his many titles and accomplishments are his appointment as CEO of Cleveland Clinic Florida, founding and presidential status of Himmarshee Surgical Partners, LLC and clinical associate professor of surgery at NSU’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine.
“It is indeed an honor to join NSU as it further develops its extensive healthcare programs,” said Moon. “NSU has created a strong academic foundation and is developing the programs and facilities to become a national leader in education, research and patient care. I look forward with keen anticipation to helping Dr. Hanbury fulfill the mission of the university.”
Several offices will report to Moon under his leadership, including Clinical Operations, Enrollment and Student Services, Facilities Management and Public Safety, and the Office of Innovation and Information Technology, along with many others.
“He is one of those unique individuals who has the administrative background, deep knowledge of health care, community understanding and impeccable integrity which makes him a superb choice for COO,” added Hanbury.
