Dr. Steven Rice, M.D. (In Memoriam)
Dr. Steven Rice, M.D., received his Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN in 1972. He, then, pursued his medical education at Tulane University Medical School in New Orleans, LA and graduated in 1976. After completing his residency in Psychiatry at the University of TN Center for Health Sciences in Memphis, TN, he became board certified in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 1984. As a successful psychiatric practice for over 4 decades in the MidSouth area, he founded Psychiatric Associates of Memphis which eventually merged with Vogelfanger and Struble Clinic in 2008.
In addition to this private practice, Dr. Rice treated patients within inpatient and residential settings and was on staff at multiple hospitals across the Mid-South region. These included North Mississippi Regional Center, Delta Medical Center, and St. Francis Hospital in Memphis. He was named Director and Chairman for the adult psychiatric unit at St Francis Hospital from 1989 to 2001 and was a consultant with the Baddour Center in Senatobia, MS from 2009 to 2019.
Dr. Rice’s quest for knowledge and passion for research led him to be a strong advocate for Electro-Convulsive Treatment and eventually Ketamine Infusion Therapy for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Dr. Rice became a Principal Investigator at Research Strategies of Memphis in 2009 and an integral part in the development and establishment of Restoration Infusions Center.
Dr. Rice was respected by his colleagues and much loved by his patients and friends. He was active in his community and his church. He was appointed as a Member of the advisory board of CMDA (2005-2019) and appointed to the Board of Directors of SVRS (2010-2014). He also received the Barnabas Award from the Memphis Chapter of the CMDA in 2008 and the Doctor of the Year from the Marriott Assisted Living in Memphis in 2001.
As Restoration Infusions Center opened its doors in June of 2019, Dr. Rice lost his battle with cancer. His enthusiasm and love for psychiatry and research will continue here. His knowledge, expertise, and friendship will be deeply missed.
