So sad to see this. A role model for all.

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of lifestyle medicine luminary Dexter Shurney, MD, MPH, MBA, DipABLM, FACLM. His warmth, wisdom, and visionary leadership shaped ACLM’s identity and inspired countless clinicians, scholars, and communities around the world.

As ACLM’s 2018 President, Dr. Shurney championed payment, policy, and partnerships—with health equity always at the center. His visionary leadership helped lay the foundation for the HEAL Initiative, which continues to advance equitable access to lifestyle medicine nationwide.

In recognition of his lasting impact, ACLM proudly announced the naming—in perpetuity—of the Dr. Dexter Shurney HEAL Award, along with the creation of the HERO Dexter Shurney Fellowship, supporting the next generation of leaders dedicated to health equity.

Dr. Shurney’s influence on the field of lifestyle medicine is immeasurable. He was a founding member of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, an accomplished physician leader across multiple national organizations, and a devoted husband and father.

His legacy lives on in the work we continue together. Our hearts are with his family. He will be profoundly missed.
