Experience with Feeling Despair Leads Area Doctor to Pen Book on Childhood Trauma and Healing

Lawrence Mieczkowski was extremely successful in his life and career. He graduated from Carnegie Melon University in 1978 and developed an interest in heart disease, researching ways to prevent it.

“My oldest brother had heart disease that developed when he was in his early 40s,” Mieczkowski said. “And we have a history on my mother’s side of premature death.”

Mieczkowski joined the research center team at the University of Cincinnati in 1985, focusing on the relationship between obesity and heart disease. He later relocated to Wright State University School of Medicine in 1987, becoming a professor of internal medicine and director of the computers in medicine program.

In 1990, he began seeing patients at Kettering Medical Center and eventually opened his own private practice, The Center for Cholesterol Treatment in Education, in Kettering in 1997.
