ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 22, 2018 Dr. Rajan Wadhawan has been promoted to senior executive officer, and will lead both AdventHealth for Children and AdventHealth for Women.
Wadhawan previously served as chief medical officer of AdventHealth for Children, as well as medical director of neonatology at AdventHealth for Children.
During Wadhawan's tenure as chief medical officer, AdventHealth for Children has been named a Leapfrog Top Children's Hospital and a top neonatology program by U.S. News & World Report. Also during this time, the hospital entered into affiliations with Duke Health and Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
Dr. Wadhawan has done an outstanding job bringing national prominence to our neonatal care, and he will now bring his proven leadership skills to oversee our women's and children's hospitals, said Eric Stevens, AdventHealth CEO of acute-care services. Dr. Wadhawan is the perfect choice to lead our programs as AdventHealth takes a position on the national stage in the coming months as we become AdventHealth.
In his new role, Wadhawan will oversee a wide range of women's and children's programs, including pediatric liver transplant, pediatric and congenital cardiology, four labor and delivery locations with more than 12,000 deliveries annually, advanced gynecology and urogynecology surgical services, and a host of extended care facilities supported by seven hospitals.
Wadhawan completed his training in pediatrics and neonatology at Brown University in Providence, R. I. He was at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg prior to joining AdventHealth for Children in 2012.
He is board-certified in pediatrics, neonatal-perinatal medicine and medical management by the Certifying Commission for Medical Management as a Certified Physician Executive (CPE). He obtained a masters degree in medical management from Carnegie Mellon University in 2011.
Wadhawan is also an associate professor for pediatrics at the University of Central Florida.
It is an honor to lead our exceptional women's and children's care teams, said Wadhawan. I look forward to building on the successes of our world-class team and to continue our work growing a leading network that is a destination for patients nationwide, and provides seamless care for a lifetime.
