Exciting Leadership Changes at HCA Florida Capital Hospital!
In March 2024, HCA Florida Capital Hospital made a splash with its announcement of new leadership for its Board of Trustees, appointing Edwin H. Moore, Ph.D. as the new chair and Niraj Pandit, MD stepping up as vice chair. This change is sure to bring a fresh perspective to the board as it takes on the important mission of providing quality healthcare to the community.
The New Chair: A Wealth of Experience
Dr. Edwin H. Moore is not a stranger to the world of healthcare leadership. He has been a valuable member of HCA Florida Capital Hospital’s Board of Trustees since 2019. Before taking on the role of chair, he accumulated an impressive background in education and public service. Moore is best known for his 16-year tenure as the president of the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF), where he helped advance the voices of private, not-for-profit colleges and universities in Tallahassee. His leadership there undoubtedly prepares him for the responsibilities ahead.
Moore, who retired in 2019 as President Emeritus of ICUF, has a rich history serving in various educational and financial capacities. He was the executive director of the Higher Education Facilities Finance Authority in Florida and also served as the chief executive officer of the Florida Independent College Fund, a notable non-profit organization. With this diverse experience, Moore is well-equipped to lead the board as it navigates the evolving landscape of healthcare.
The New Vice Chair: A Heart for Leadership
Joining Moore is Dr. Niraj Pandit, who has also been on the board since 2019.

He earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania and completed both his internship and residency in internal medicine there. So, you could say that when it comes to healthcare, he knows his stuff!
Dr. Pandit didn’t stop there. He broadened his expertise by completing a cardiology fellowship at Cooper University Hospital in New Jersey. He is certified in multiple areas – namely internal medicine, cardiovascular diseases, and interventional cardiology. This extensive training underscores his commitment to delivering the highest standards of care to patients in the community, making him an ideal candidate for vice chair.
A Bright Future Ahead
