In addition to his regular private practice, Dr. Grady delivered 3,000 babies and helped provide free medical, surgical, paediatric, obstetrical and heart clinics for the indigent and migrant workers in that area. During this period the doctor also served as Medical Examiner for the States Attorney, Chief of Staff of Glades General Hospital and State President of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
The Doctor has been licensed to practice medicine and surgery in three states, and certified by the National Board of Medical Examiners.
