Richard Hart named president of LLUAHSC

(LOMA LINDA, CA)—Richard Hart, MD, DrPH, Chancellor and CEO of Loma Linda University, has been named President and Chief Executive Officer of Loma Linda University Adventist Health Sciences Center (LLUAHSC). He will replace B. Lyn Behrens, MBBS, who announced last December that she would be retiring in March of 2008.

“The board and search committee believe that Dr. Hart's distinguished career of service has ideally prepared him for this position,” said Cooper. “As both a physician and an academician, he is knowledgeable about the unique challenges and opportunities faced by an academic health sciences center. We believe he brings both the training and the experience to lead this organization at this important time in its history, and will be able to ensure that no momentum is lost as we move forward on major expansion, fund-raising and research initiatives now in place.”
