Nask retires from Broward Health

Frank Nask will retire as president and CEO of Broward Health, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in March, the company has announced.

Nask, 66, has served as president and CEO of the five-hospital, not-for-profit community health system since 2008. The North Broward Hospital District board of commissioners, which oversees the health system, will look for a successor over the next few months.

Before assuming the position of CEO, Nask served as the organization's CFO, handling Broward Health's coffers during the recent financial crisis. During his tenure as CEO, he oversaw the expansion of the organization's graduate medical education program to more than 100 residents and led several major construction projects throughout the system.

Nask came to Broward Health after serving as CFO for several Florida health systems, as well as Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark. He also worked as a district controller for HCA's mid-Atlantic region.

"I have been honored to work with the incredibly dedicated and talented team of healthcare professionals throughout the system,” Nask said in a statement. “The real key to my success has been our combined commitment to our mission of providing the best healthcare to every member of our community.”
