RWJBarnabas Health has named Warren Moore senior vice president, Pediatric Services effective immediately.

In his new role, Moore will focus on the overall pediatric service line and oversee the development and strategic implementation of business plans for pediatrics across the health system.

In addition, Moore will align the leadership across the system’s three children’s hospitals, convening key clinical leaders, hospital administrative teams and Rutgers leadership to coordinate services, while enhancing the quality, accessibility and convenience of the care provided.

Moore will continue in his current role as president and chief executive officer of Children’s Specialized Hospital, a post he has held since 2017. He will also continue to report directly to Thomas Biga, president, Hospital Division of RWJBarnabas Health and will be aligned closely with Dr. John Bonamo, executive vice president, chief medical and quality officer.

“Warren brings exceptional experience and dynamic business strategy to his work, which spans over two decades within the RWJBarnabas Health system,” said Biga in a statement. “His keen eye for strategic partnerships and his focus on improving patient outcomes will further cement our pediatric program as a premier destination for the highest quality medical care for our youngest patients,” Biga continued.

“Warren’s long history with the system and his expertise in pediatrics is an indispensable asset to the RWJBarnabas Health system,” said Dr. Bonamo. “We look forward to his leadership as we further align and strengthen our pediatric services both in the region and through partnerships beyond New Jersey.”

Moore has been with RWJBarnabas Health for the past 21 years and previously served as executive vice president for Children’s Specialized Hospital.

RWJBarnabas said that under Moore’s strategic leadership, the facility has expanded both the breadth and depth of services offered to encompass 13 sites and to serve more than 37,000 children in 2018. He also has spearheaded strategic partnerships beyond New Jersey, launching the Children’s Specialized Hospital Chronic Pain Management Program at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego this spring and collaborating with Olivia’s Place to bring pediatric rehabilitation to the children of China.

Prior to joining the RWJBarnabas Health system, Moore held several leadership roles at HealthSouth, the nation’s largest inpatient rehabilitation provider and brings nearly three decades of experience to his work.
