(1944–2025)

Medical anthropologist Edward Crocker “Ted” Green (PhD, Catholic University of America, 1974) passed away suddenly at home on November 5, 2025, following a week in the hospital after emergency abdominal surgery.

Born in 1944, he is survived by his wife of nearly 50 years, Susan “Suzie” Green, his son, Timothy Green, and a brother, Mark Green.

Green worked for more than 40 years in global health and international development. He was a pioneer in anthropological research on indigenous healers, and he was one of the first to develop public health programs based on collaboration between African indigenous healers and Western-style biomedical personnel.
