From California-
Dr. John Graham, a Briargrove resident, knows what it means to face life-altering medical conditions and draw upon faith to get through them.
Graham, a former plastic surgeon with 15 years experience in Shreveport, La., dealt with cases where he reattached an amputated arm and reconstructed a child’s face injured by a shotgun blast.
After his medical career, Graham became an Episcopal priest in 1994 and is an assistant priest at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in the Galleria area.
His current position as president of the Institute of Spirituality and Health in the Texas Medical Center melds his two diverse life experiences together.
The ISH, which was founded in 1955, seeks to increase awareness of the role spirituality plays in maintaining and restoring optimal health. They also offer programs that bring together scholars from academia and health caregivers, religious leaders and the public to debate on spirituality and health issues.
Jim Walzel, ISH chairman of the board and West University resident, said they are fortunate to have Graham take the helm. Graham had served on the ISH board of directors for more than six years.
