Burnett School of Medicine at TCU Chair Named President-elect of JPS Health Network

FORT WORTH – Grant Fowler, M.D., Chair of Family Medicine at Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University, has been named president-elect and will become the next Chief of Medical Staff for JPS Health Network.  

Dr. Fowler began his two-year term as Vice President/President-elect at the start of 2026. He will serve as Chief of Medical Staff for two years starting in 2028, then will transition into a two-year term as immediate past president.   

“This role is a six-year commitment,” Dr. Fowler said.  “We’re charged with making sure there is the highest quality care for our patients and highest quality of practice by our physicians.” 

He will still maintain his roles as Chair of Family and Community Medicine and Associate Director Program Director of Family Medicine at JPS Health Network and Chair of Primary Care and Geriatrics at Acclaim Physician Group.

In his new role, Dr. Fowler will advocate alongside the Chief Medical Officer and help secure technology and resources needed to provide the best care throughout the hospital system. 

“For example our surgeons might need improved robotic equipment for medical procedures or we may need the most advanced MRIs to improve the quality of care the medical staff can provide,” Dr. Fowler said. “In my role, I can advocate to the leadership to make those things available for our physicians.” 

Even with his new responsibilities on the administrative side of health care, Dr. Fowler will still carve out time to see patients and teach medical students. It’s a great place to help cultivate the next generations of physicians and serve our community, he added. 

“I’ve been at JPS for eight years now and seen so many things happen,” Dr. Fowler said. “It’s really a role to give back to the health care profession.”
