Meet Bowen Jiang, M.D.
2022 Awardee, Physician Champion
In the relatively short time since Dr. Bowen Jiang joined Providence St. Jude Medical Center, he has embraced a strong partnership with the Memorial Foundation by continuously participating in Foundation activities while inspiring engagement of physicians and grateful patients.
Taking his passion beyond clinical care, Dr. Jiang has created personal connections with supporters on multiple occasions by providing personal tours through the medical center to discuss our Neurosciences program. Recently, he presented to the Foundation Board by demonstrating new robotic spine surgery technology, allowing our community leaders a firsthand look at innovations happening at the medical center.
Dr. Jiang’s compassion and expertise has made him an essential partner of the Memorial Foundation to help advance Providence St. Jude’s Neurosciences program.
