Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences inaugurated H. Danny Weaver, D.O., as its 12th president during an investiture ceremony on Sept. 22, 2011, in Weaver Auditorium on the KCUMB campus.
The KCUMB Board of Trustees voted in September 2010 to appoint Dr. Weaver as the president and chief executive officer. A 1984 KCUMB graduate, Dr. Weaver had previously been named acting president and chief executive officer in December 2009.
Prior to taking a leadership role at his alma mater, Dr. Weaver shared a busy medical practice in Orlando, Fla., with his wife, Debra Albers, D.O. (COM 86), whom he met during medical school at KCUMB. The pair practiced together for more than 23 years.
Dr. Weaver's late father, Jack Weaver, D.O., graduated from KCUMB in 1963 and the University has played an integral part of the younger Dr. Weaver's life ever since. Dr. Weaver also served KCUMB as a member of the Board of Trustees and was named its chairman after his father's passing in 2004.
Dr. Weaver is a member of the American Osteopathic Association, the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians, and is board certified by the American Board of Osteopathic Family Practitioners. He earned an undergraduate degree in biology from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Fla.
