Dr. Arthur P. Wheeler, FCCP, died on December 17, 2015. He attended undergraduate school (UMBC) and medical school (UMAB) at The University of Maryland.
He moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1982 for residency training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and remained there for his entire professional career. He was Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Vanderbilt University Hospital for 22 years, where he had a prolific research career that primarily focused on the development of new treatments for ARDS through the ARDSnet Team, leading to improved survival for many patients. His passion for teaching and for understanding how best to care for critically ill patients will be missed by his many colleagues and friends who he inspired throughout the years. Art’s involvement with the American College of Chest Physicians spanned almost 30 years and included serving on the editorial boards of CHEST and CHEST SEEK Critical Care. He recently was honored in CHEST as a Giant in Chest Medicine. Art often shared that he considered participating in SEEK as one of his most favorite and rewarding professional activities. CHEST SEEK Critical Care: 26th Edition will be dedicated to Dr. Wheeler. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Lisa, and the entire Wheeler family.
