Text: Dr. James Edward Griffith, 53, of Belmont Street, an assistant chief of medical service and UMC professor, died of heart failure Saturday at Mississippi Baptist Medical Center. Services are 2 p.m. Wednesday at Wright & Ferguson Funeral Home with burial in Parkway Memorial Cemetery in Ridgeland. Visitation is 5-8 p.m. today and noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home.
Dr. Griffith was a native of Laurel. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Mississippi in 1968 and his medical degree from the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 1972.
He interned and took residency training in internal medicine at UMC from July 1972 to June 1975. Then he completed a two-year fellowship in pulmonary disease. He was named the Medical Center's outstanding intern in 1973 and outstanding resident in 1974.
Dr. Griffith joined the UMC School of Medicine faculty as an assitant professor of medicine and the G. V. "Sonny" Montgomery Veteran Affairs Medical Center as a medical director of the respiratory therapy unit and the medical intensive care unit in 1977. He became chief of the V. A. Medical Center pulmonary section in 1980 and assistant chief of the medical service in 1984. He was promoted to associate professor of medicine in 1990 and then to professor of medicine earlier this year at UMC.
"His enthusiasm and excellence in all phases of teaching and patient care were recognized by numerous awards including the Schoof of Medicine's Alpha Omega Alpha's Clinical Professor of the Year Award in 1993," said Dr. Kent Kirchner, chief of medical service at the V. A. Medical Center. "He has been responsible for training the majority of pulmonary physicians throughout the state of Mississippi."
Dr. Helen Turner, UMC School of Medicine associate dean for academic affairs, describes Dr. Griffith as an outstanding physician, teacher and role model who was loved and respected by his patients, students and colleagues. "As a faculty member of 22 years, he taught many of the physicians who currently practice in Mississippi," she said. "He influenced the lives of so many through his medical practice and his teaching, and all of us are better for having known him."
A fellow of the American College Chest Pysicians, Dr. Griffith also was a member of the American College of Physicians, the American Thoracic Society and the Society of Sigma XI. He served as program chairman of the Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana Tristate Thoracic Society for three years, as president of the Hinds County Chapter of the Mississippi Lung Association in 1982 and as president of the Mississippi Thoracic Society in 1988.
The author of a number of peer reviewed papers in his subspecialty area, he frequently spoke on pulmonary disease at professional conferences across the state.
"Dr. Griffith loved being a physician at the V. A. Medical Center and his role as an educator at UMC," said Dr. Robert Lynch, V.A. Medical Center chief of staff. Survivors include: wife, Susan; stepson, Lewis W. Beard of Jackson; mother, Emily B. Griffith of Brandon; and sister, Virginia G. Lloyd of Roswell, Ga. Memorials may be made to the American Lung Association of Mississippi, P. O. Box 9865, Jackson MS 39266-0865.
