Robert Stone is the Chief Executive Officer of City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States.
Robert is widely respected as one of health care’s leading voices. He has been named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the world’s most influential decision-makers, recognized twice by Modern Healthcare among the most influential people in health care, and honored right here in Los Angeles as one of the region’s most consequential health care leaders — someone whose vision has helped shape not only City of Hope, but the broader health care landscape.
Under his leadership, City of Hope has grown from a regional leader into a nationally prominent institution known for innovation, scientific discovery, exceptional care, and expanded access for patients and families.
At the core of Robert’s leadership is a simple but powerful belief: in today’s complex health care environment, the patient is not just the outcome of our work — the patient is the driver of it. For Robert, this is more than a leadership principle; it is a personal mission. It is what guides the decisions, the strategy, the growth, and the work City of Hope does every day to bring advanced cancer care, discovery, and hope to more people.
