Biography
Anthony Michael Bowersock was born at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Mary's, Ohio on March 26, 1985. Growing up in St. Mary's, Bowersock attended the now defunct Bunker Hill school for kindergarten and West Elementary for his primary education before moving to Georgia in 1997 with his family. In 2003, he became valedictorian of the Banks County Class of 2003 in Homer, Georgia. In August 2003, Bowersock began his undergraduate education at The Ohio State University at Lima and concurrently began his career with J.C. Penney. In 2006 he withdrew from OSU Lima to assist his family during his mother’s fight with breast cancer. Between 2006 – 2010 Bowersock became a corporate sales manager for J.C. Penney and relocated from Athens, Georgia to Houma, Louisiana. Late in 2010 he returned to Ohio to finish his degree from Ohio State and, in 2015, graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with Honors Distinction. During the 2016-2017 academic year, he participated in the MEDPATH Program at Ohio State and matriculated into The Ohio State University College of Medicine’s Class of 2021. After the first two years of the College of Medicine curriculum, he enrolled in the College of Public of Health MPH program and received his MPH in May 2021. In 2023 he took a leave of absence from the College of Medicine to pursue his DrPH from Johns Hopkins University. In addition to that educational program, he joined the public health workforce at Knox County Combined General Health District as Accreditation Coordinator (June 2024-September 2025), interim CEO of Knox County Community Health Centers (October 2025-January 2026), and CEO and Deputy Health Commissioner (February 2026-).
