In this role, Graham will focus on expanding COSECURE’s health care practice while applying her deep expertise across the firm’s broader security, risk, and preparedness capabilities. Graham’s arrival further strengthens COSECURE’s industry-leading bench of credentialed professionals.

This strategic hire also reflects the continued growth and momentum of COSECURE’s health care practice, driven in large part by the leadership of Drew Neckar, CHPA, CPP, Principal Consultant.

Prior to Lee Health, Graham spent more than 25 years in campus policing and public safety leadership, including serving as the inaugural Associate Vice President for Safety and Security at the University of Virginia and Chief of Police at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She also held senior leadership roles at Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and Duke University police departments. Graham began her law enforcement career in Indiana in 1995.
