Two weeks ago, Dr. Brian Coley gave his quarterly radiology town hall report. At the end of his presentation, he announced that he was stepping down as the radiologist-in-chief.

An essential part of leadership is to bring talented people together and provide the resources and supportive culture to let them succeed. I hope that I’ve done a reasonable job of that. I’ll continue to do whatever I can for Cincinnati Children’s, which is without a doubt the finest academic pediatric medical center in the world.”
