About Stephen Smith
As the Director of Strategic Projects at Grady Health System, I facilitate key development and communication critical to sustaining corporate strategic initiatives dependent on facilities capital development. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare construction and program management, I am a strategic change agent who delivers high-quality and high-impact projects that advance the organization\'s mission and vision.I direct the execution of the organization\'s highest risk projects, including managing the design, construction, transition and operational activation for a $240 million outpatient surgery center, a $40 million phased renovation of the Infectious Disease Center, and a $3 million innovative Food as Medicine retail food and meals program. I also provide administrative and strategic oversight for Grady\'s capital construction and renovation program, which encompasses a portfolio of over 4 million square feet. I am a champion of just culture, evidence-based leadership, and process improvement, and I partner with senior leaders, stakeholders, and external agencies to ensure compliance, alignment, and excellence.
