Leaman is the site medical director at the Kensington Avenue office of the in the economically disadvantaged neighborhood of North Philadelphia. Patients are often in 鈥渋ntense鈥� situations of abject poverty, he says, lacking health insurance while struggling with substance abuse, domestic violence, and HIV-AIDS.

Esperanza is the Spanish word for 鈥渉ope,鈥� Leaman explains. But it鈥檚 not the kind of wishful hope he has for the success of his Philadelphia sports teams, he laughs. It is a deep, abiding faith that comes from waiting on God.

The health center, a Christian organization, is holistic in its approach, offering spiritual, social, and emotional support as well as medical help. The center meets the needs of its patients through an interdisciplinary team that includes nutritionists, dentists, nurses, counselors, and social workers as well as family doctors like Leaman.

Leaman grew up in Philadelphia, where he saw many models of selfless Christian service, including his church-worker parents. 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to me to be in a place where I can make a difference in people鈥檚 lives.鈥�

He wasn鈥檛 always convinced, though, that he would be a physician and that he would work in his hometown. But his professors influenced him to major in biology and minor in missions. He credits the YES program of for instilling a life lesson and a critical skill that he needs in his current work 鈥� relying on God鈥檚 help and speaking Spanish.

Leaman returned to Philadelphia to study at Temple University School of Medicine. He started at Esperanza in 2001. He and his wife Jen and three children are active at , where Tim completed 11 years as council chair last year. They live two blocks from Tim鈥檚 boyhood home.

What keeps Leaman going? 鈥淭ime alone with God in the practices of solitude and prayer have helped me maintain spiritual vitality and to know God鈥檚 heart for our city and my patients,鈥� he says. 鈥淎lso, transformations in the lives of church friends, neighbors, and patients give me hope and inspiration in the midst of significant challenges.鈥�
