2018 Dr. Randy Siegel Pediatric Cancer Medical Humanitarian of the Year

Since 2012, The Hugs for Brady Foundation has annually honored outstanding individuals or organizations who lead by example and excel in their dedication to eradicate pediatric cancer with The Randy Siegel M.D. Pediatric Cancer Medical Humanitarian of the Year Award. This year’s Humanitarian of the Year is awarded to Warren E. Moore, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer, Children’s Specialized Hospital. Warren has more than 25 years of experience in the healthcare field and prior to joining the Children’s Specialized Hospital 19 years ago, he held leadership roles at HealthSouth, the nation’s largest inpatient rehabilitation provider. Warren’s dedication to the children and their families his institution serves is so closely aligned to Dr. Siegel’s lifelong dedication to be a trusted healer and advocate to his patients that The Randy Siegel M.D. Pediatric Cancer Medical Humanitarian of the Year Award could not be awarded to a more deserving recipient. Embodying this year’s gala theme, One Hug Closer, under his leadership the number of children treated at the Children’s Specialized Hospital has grown from 2,000 a year to over 30,000 at 13 sites allowing for more children to obtain the specialized care they need and move closer to a cure. These children are Warren’s heroes and inspiration: ”Many of the patients we serve have endured devastating illness or injuries with inner strength and resilience that is beyond their years. It always amazes me to see how they face adversity and fight hard to get better every day.” Active in the community, Warren sits on numerous boards and committees all dedicated to improving children’s healthcare and increasing access to the specialized services needed. An avid golfer, Warren also enjoys spending time at the shore with his wife Jen and his five children. Even though he is an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates, The Hugs for Brady Foundation can think of no better recipient for this year’s The Randy Siegel M.D. Pediatric Cancer Medical Humanitarian of the Year Award than Warren E. Moore.
