Internists

• Colon Cancer
  After Edward’s retirement, he and Ann moved to Leesville Lake in the foothills of Ohio’s Allegheny Mountains where they enjoyed boating and were introduced to the fun and friendship of square dancing. In October 2008, they traveled to the West Coast to welcome their first grandchild into the world, and to enjoy an extended visit with their son and daughter who had settled in San Francisco and Seattle respectively. When Edward was diagnosed with colon cancer in April 2009, he chose to receive treatment in the Seattle area.

Surgeons

• Otolaryngology
  Edward graduated from Scranton Preparatory School in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1958, the University of Scranton in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1962, and Thomas Jefferson University Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1966. He completed a residency in Otolaryngology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in 1970 and went on to serve in the U.S. Army where he received the Army Commendation Medal in 1972. After his discharge, Dr. Carden opened a medical/surgical practice in Moorestown, New Jersey, and served as clinical professor of Otolaryngology at Jefferson. While in New Jersey, Dr. Carden launched the first Physicians’ Effectiveness (aka. "Impaired Physicians") Program in the United States. The New Jersey program became the model for similar programs in many other states.
