He served as Medical Director of that department and the Department of Wellness and Health Promotion before leaving to pursue a private practice and a career as a consultant and speaker.

Besides being written up on the front page of the "Wall Street Journal" and appearing on national television programs, Bowen is often interviewed by radio, newspaper, and magazine journalists. He is at ease before any size audience. He has many years of experience as a weekly TV Health commentator for Kansas City's CBS-TV affiliate, and he has written a weekly newspaper column for the "Kansas City Business Journal," entitled "Patient Potential."
