DONALD “SKIP” TRUMP was named the first CEO and executive director of the newly created Inova Cancer Care and Research Institute, part of the Inova Health System.

In October 2014, Trump stepped down as president and CEO of Roswell Park Cancer Institute, which he led since 2007. He will maintain his appointment there as a professor of oncology.

“Inova is committed to building a destination cancer care and research facility,” Trump wrote in an email to his colleagues. “We will be recruiting a number of clinical, administrative and research leaders.”
