Dr. Dodge: Passion for Health

Ed Dodge grew up as a missionary kid in Angola, Africa. Some of his adventures included living in the wilds of northern Angola, hunting for wild game, and traveling across many poorly charted areas of Africa.

Ed obtained his medical degree from Indiana University and his Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University.

After teaching public health in Ethiopia for two years, he was a public health director in rural USA. He concluded his career as a family physician. Through his experiences, Ed grew to understand the value of embracing the whole person, body, mind, and spirit. Quantum physics and cutting edge research support such a perspective. Tim's Story describes this emerging trend in medicine and defines the individual's responsibility in this new paradigm of health.
