Dr. Storer was named CNO of Roswell Park in 2023, three years after he joined the cancer center as deputy CNO and executive director of nursing professional development, practice and research. Nurse engagement has risen dramatically through his leadership, resulting in record-low turnover and vacancy in nursing positions. His contributions led to accreditation with distinction for Roswell Park’s nurse residency program, approval for a continuing education program, the creation of the first nurse training facility at any cancer center to incorporate high-fidelity simulation and, supported by $2.11 million in funding from the National Cancer Institute, a first-of-its-kind research education program for nurses with advanced degrees. Dr. Storer has also driven transformation in care delivery, creating healthy work environments, promoting sustainability and supporting a culture of innovation in scholarship. He is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Organization of Nurse Leaders, the New York Organization of Nurse Executives and Leaders, the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurses Society, the Oncology Nursing Society, the New York State Nurses Association and more.
