Meet Dr. Harry Black
From Surgeon to Survivor to Wellness Advocate
Board-certified general and trauma surgeon with over 40 years of experience, 15,000+ surgeries performed, and 75,000+ patients treated. Now dedicated to helping others achieve optimal health through physician-led cancer education in Ormond Beach, Florida.
40+ Years of Surgical Excellence
Dr. Harry H. Black is a board-certified general and trauma surgeon with over four decades of experience, having performed more than 15,000 surgeries and treated over 75,000 patients throughout his distinguished career. His expertise spans the full spectrum of general and trauma surgery, with particular depth in cancer treatment and complex abdominal procedures.
When the Surgeon Became the Patient
In a life-altering turn, Dr. Black was diagnosed with prostate cancer. This experience transformed his perspective on patient care forever. He understood - for the first time from the other side - what it truly means to face a cancer diagnosis, navigate treatment decisions, and seek not just survival, but thriving recovery.
This deeply personal journey sparked a new mission: to create the comprehensive wellness support system he wished had existed during his own treatment.
The Birth of Sunrise Institute
Sunrise Institute of Health, Wellness, and Longevity was founded on a simple but powerful premise: modern medicine excels at treating disease, but often falls short in educating people about prevention and long-term wellness. Dr. Black bridges this gap by combining his decades of surgical experience with evidence-based lifestyle education.

- Educational lab review and metabolic awareness
- Personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategy education

A Message from Dr. Black
"I've spent my career helping people through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. When I became a patient myself, I understood that true wellness requires more than surgery - it requires a complete transformation of how we educate ourselves about our bodies. That's what Sunrise Institute provides: not treatment, but education and a pathway to lasting wellness."
