During his time at Case Western Reserve University, Albert Iosue built a reputation as the most outstanding offensive end in all of Ohio. Recruited out of Collinwood High School on the east side of Cleveland, Case Western offered him a scholarship and a chance to play for the Spartans. He seized the opportunity, creating an impressive career both on and off the field.

An All-President’ Conference end, he was named the outstanding offensive player in the league his senior year. A talented chemistry student, he held a 3.73 GPA, and his accolades included membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Described by his professors as the “most deserving young man in school,” Iosue graduated magna cum laude and entered Western Reserve Medical School.

After graduating from medical school, Iosue served as a doctor for the Peace Corps in Ecuador from 1967-69. Upon his service, he returned to school, this time at Yale University, to study diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. Iosue then served as the chief radiologist at North Beach Hospital for 20 years – most of his career. In 1988, Iosue formed the Institute for Applied Physiology, a nonprofit organization designed to foster philosophical thought and discussion outside of learning institutions. Iosue has three sons and one daughter with wife Patricia.
