Honoring Dr. Dexter Shurney
Unify Health Services extends our deepest gratitude to Dr. Dexter Shurney, MD, MPH, MBA, DipABLM, FACLM, whose visionary leadership and dedication to lifestyle medicine have shaped the way organizations and communities approach health and well-being.
We were honored to welcome Dr. Shurney as the keynote speaker at the UHS 2025 Employer Summit, where he inspired employers and health leaders with his insights on advancing workplace wellness and health equity. His message continues to guide our mission of building healthier, more resilient organizations.
Dr. Shurney’s influence reached far beyond our summit. As President of ACLM in 2018, he championed payment reform, policy innovation, and partnerships with equity at the center. He helped lay the foundation for the HEAL Initiative, expanding access to lifestyle medicine nationwide. His legacy is further honored through the Dr. Dexter Shurney HEAL Award and the HERO Dexter Shurney Fellowship, which support the next generation of leaders committed to health equity.
We were saddened to learn of Dr. Shurney’s passing, but we know his contributions will live on through the countless lives he touched and the initiatives he helped create. His work continues to inspire us, and we are proud to have shared the stage with him at our 2025 Employer Summit.
