A key figure on the Roswell Park finance team since 2014, Mr. Grady helped position the nation’s first cancer research and treatment center to earn the highest rating of “exceptional” from the National Cancer Institute. He helped guide Roswell Park past the $1 billion operating budget mark on the heels of the Covid-19 pandemic, increasing revenue by 30%. His focus on sustainable growth enabled several major capital projects. These include a suburban outpatient care center, an outreach and engagement center visited by more than 5,000 community members in its first year, and a cleanroom facility expansion that led to the opening of the largest academic cell therapy manufacturing center in the country. His efforts also supported an 87% increase in grant dollars, a 53% rise in numbers of patients accrued to clinical trials and an 86% uptick in cancer screening procedures.
