Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center Becomes Gray's First U.S. Partner

Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, Louisiana's largest cancer care organization, has selected GrayOS as its care orchestration platform for radiation therapy operations. The partnership makes Mary Bird Perkins the first cancer center in the United States to deploy GrayOS, following its adoption across leading cancer programs in Canada.
Mary Bird Perkins serves every region of Louisiana and communities across southwest Mississippi. Its radiation therapy program operates at a scale and complexity where the gap between patient demand and operational capacity has direct consequences for care access and clinical team workload.
GrayOS addresses that gap by continuously balancing care demand against finite resources across the department, giving clinical and operational teams a real-time picture of what the schedule can absorb, where bottlenecks are forming, and how to respond before they compound. Centers deploying GrayOS have reduced scheduling administration time by 80% and cut staff training time by half, freeing clinical teams to focus on the work that requires their expertise.
"Through this significant partnership with Gray Oncology Solutions, we believe we can greatly enhance our radiation therapy services by offering more streamlined and accessible care to cancer patients," said Sotirios Stathakis, Ph.D., Chief of Physics at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. "The partnership will help us make patient scheduling much more efficient by tailoring schedules to each patient's needs, which will help minimize transaction times and ultimately save vast amounts of time for patients and employees alike."
For Gray, this partnership marks the beginning of a US presence built on institutional trust rather than feature comparison. Mary Bird Perkins brings a clinical and operational environment where the stakes of getting care orchestration right are concrete and measurable. That is exactly the kind of proving ground Gray is designed for.
