Born and raised in Columbus Ohio, Terry Meyer was a graduate of Bexley High School and went on to earn a medical degree from The Ohio State University. He completed his radiology residency at Cincinnati General Hospital and then served honorably in the United States Navy. He returned to Columbus to begin his 50 plus year career as a diagnostic radiologist at Grant Hospital. He was an outstanding clinician, teacher, and visionary. He can be credited in establishing screening mammography as an effective tool for early diagnosis of breast cancer. Throughout his career, he was honored with many accolades including President of the Ohio Radiological Society, medical staff President for Grant Medical Center, Fellow of the American College of Radiology, Chancellor of the American College of Radiology, President of the Central Ohio Radiological Society, President of the Eastern Radiological Society and a Silver Metal Award winner for the Ohio State Radiological Society.

Not only did he have a passion for being a radiologist, he was a contributing member to his beloved community. He was President of the American Cancer Society of Columbus Ohio. He was also on the Board of Trustees for the Columbus Jazz Arts Group, and Chairman for the Bexley Board of Health. Even when he retired to Florida, he maintained his great love of radiology by continuing his work at the Cleveland Clinic in Naples Florida.

Married to his high school sweet heart Nancy for 69 years, they created a family filled with love and laughter. He also had an avid love of golf and community. Friendships were extremely important to him as his life was filled with friendships that lasted a lifetime.

He will be missed deeply by his family, friends and colleagues.
