7 VETERANS CARE Florida State Senator Alexis Calatayud visited the Alan B. Levan | NSU Broward Center of Innovation to present a $5-million check from the state to NSU Health Veterans Care. Pictured from left at the check presentation are NSU President Emeritus George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D.; Leonard J. Pounds, Ph.D., M.S., vice president for NSU Health Administration; Alexis Calatayud; and Harry K. Moon, M.D., FACS, FRCSEd, president and CEO. HEALTH HIRE Chad A. Perlyn, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., who previously served as senior vice president of surgical services, community health, and corporate responsibility at Nicklaus Children’s Health System in Miami, Florida, was named NSU executive vice president and chief medical officer and executive medical director for NSU Health. In this new role of chief medical officer for NSU’s seven health care-related colleges and NSU Health—its integrated healthcare network of more than 70 practice areas, clinics, and centers—Perlyn will work on NSU Health strategic development. He will be the senior leader of all medical and clinical aspects and functions of the university and its health care enterprise. HCA Healthcare donated $500,000 to NSU to help establish clinical simulation labs for the Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing’s new nurse anesthesiology program. The gift is part of HCA Healthcare’s $10-million, three-year pledge to support historically Black colleges and universities and Hispanic-serving institutions. With the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology forecasting a shortage of 12,500 providers by 2033, the donation will support faculty initiatives, fund essential equipment, and aid in creating simulation labs at NSU’s Palm Beach and Fort Myers campuses for nurse anesthesiology training.
