Dr. Gray was an exceptional member of the UHS medical team and an outstanding leader within UHS Hospitals.  He was a beloved physician who championed excellence in the care of patients and supported everyone on the caregiving team.

He was then selected as chief medical officer of UHS Hospitals, leading the team of physicians who practice at UHS Wilson Medical Center and UHS Binghamton General Hospitals.

At the hospitals, Dr. Gray was well-known for his wit, the warmth he displayed to others in every interaction and his ability to make people comfortable.
