Bernard J. (BJ) Clark, III, MD, was named as the Chief Executive of the Practice and Physician-in-Chief for Nemours Children’s Clinic – Delaware Valley.
Since September 2005, Dr. Clark has been the Associate Chief Executive of the Practice (CEP) for Nemours Children’s Clinic – Delaware Valley. He replaces Roy Proujansky, MD, who was promoted to Executive Vice President, Patient Operations and Chief operating Officer of Nemours.
Dr. Clark is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He served his residency in pediatrics as well as his fellowship in pediatric cardiology at The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. In 1996 he completed a fellowship in clinical epidemiology at the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to joining Nemours, Dr. Clark was a senior cardiologist at The Cardiac Center, The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia, Acting Medical Director of the Thoracic Organ Transplant Service and Medical Director of the Cardiac Care Unit. Dr. Clark is board certified in pediatrics and pediatric cardiology. He is an author or co-author on over 75 publications.
“The selection of Dr. Clark came after an intensive process due to the significant capabilities and considerable accomplishments of the candidates under consideration,” Dr. Proujansky says. “Since joining Nemours, Dr Clark has shown strong leadership in the areas of patient safety, quality and the management of practice that includes more than 250 physicians practicing in three states.”
“I am honored to be leading the physician practice of the world renowned Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children,” Dr. Clark says. “This is an exciting time for both the hospital and the practice and I look forward to working with the entire staff to continue the excellent leadership provided by Dr Proujansky.”
