The wife of NIU Police Chief Donald Grady has been named head of Health Services.

Christine Grady, RN, MS, was selected as the new Health Services Director after a “competitive search,” said Brian Hemphill, vice president for Student Affairs and enrollment management.

The position opened July 1, after Russell Dolce relocated, Hemphill said. Hemphill said Grady was one of two qualified candidates who were interviewed for the position.

“Ms. Grady met the qualifications for the position. She has broad experience in healthcare administration and 27 years experience as a healthcare provider,” Hemphill said. He also said the university followed all search guidelines for both the position and NIU.

As of press time, no one from Health Services was available for comment.
