028_Terry Rogers: Faces of Recovery

Terry Rogers has been a practicing physician for over 56 years. He was the director of respiratory and  critical care at Seattle Swedish Hospital,  served  a Senior Medical Officer and  CEO for King County Blue Shield.  He was also CEO of the Foundation for Healthcare Quality in Seattle.  He retired as Medical Director of Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers and still sees patients on a weekly basis. Terry has given his life to the good health of other people.

Terry is also the author of Faces of Recovery,  a remarkable book that features before and after photos of patients who have been in a 28 day residential treatment program.  The visual alteration that occurs during treatment is stunning. Terry's photography provides these people with self-evidence that they can live a healthy life.

In our conversation, Terry talks candidly about the corrosive effects of alcohol and drugs, his own experiences and the power that art and photography can have in how we see ourselves and what we can achieve.
