The George Washington University President's Medal, the highest honor
the university president can award, recognizes individuals who have
exhibited courage, character and leadership in their chosen fields and
who exemplify the ability of all human beings to improve the lives of
others.
Dr. Brady is the founder of The CyberKnife Center of Philadelphia and
one of the most distinguished pioneers in the field of radiation
oncology. He is recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on
cancer treatment and has published more than 600 papers and led numerous
clinical trials. Virtually every radiation oncologist in the world is
familiar with his textbooks and the Encyclopedia of Radiation Oncology
(Brady-Yeager Eds.). He has won over thirty medals for his contribution
to the medical field and has served as president of every major
radiation oncology professional society.
"Our partnership with Dr. Brady began with the establishment of The
CyberKnife Center of Philadelphia nearly 10 years ago and everyone at
Alliance Oncology is proud to congratulate Dr. Brady on winning this
prestigious award," said Greg Spurlock, President of Alliance Oncology.
"Dr. Brady has dedicated his life to the field of radiation oncology and
mny patients and physicians have benefited from his wisdom and
experience. He is very deserving of this award and we feel honored to
have him as part of the Alliance Oncology team."
Dr. Brady was born in North Carolina and received his undergraduate and
medical degrees at George Washington University. He received
post-graduate training in radiology and radiation oncology at the U.S.
Naval Hospital in Bethesda, and in Philadelphia at Jefferson Medical
College and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He has had
appointments at Harvard Medical School, The College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Columbia University, and has spent the majority of his
career in Philadelphia first at the University of Pennsylvania, and
since 1959, at Hahnemann University Hospital.
He is a physician with an extraordinary range of interests and
activities, and George Washington University chose to honor him for his
support and contributions to medicine and the fine arts. In spite of
extensive commitments throughout the United States and around the world,
he continues to be directly involved in patient care, the teaching of
undergraduate medical students and post-graduate training of residents
in radiation oncology.
Dr. Brady was presented the award by George Washington University
President Steven Knapp on George Washington's Foggy Bottom Campus in
Washington, D.C., on May 16. Prior to this award, George Washington
