Stuart T. Weinberg ’81

Stuart T. Weinberg ’81, M.D., died on July 18. Born on October 29, 1959, in Jacksonville, Florida, he grew up in Dayton, Ohio. He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1977, majored in computer science at Dartmouth, then graduated from University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in 1985. He spent many summers at Dayton YMCA Camp Kern, where he met, proposed to, and in 1992 married Anne. After medical school he was a pediatric resident at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, followed by a fellowship in medical informatics at the University of Pittsburgh. Stuart joined Vanderbilt School of Medicine’s department of biomedical informatics as faculty in 2004. Joining informatics “was like being a kid in a candy store,” he once said. “It allows me to merge my interests and skills in computer science and medicine.” He enjoyed bowling, gardening, family history, and “dad jokes.” He was proud to have established two community endowment funds—the Carl B. Kern Fund of the Dayton Foundation in 1987 and the Tennessee chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics Endowment Fund in 2020 with the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. He was predeceased by his father, Melvin. He is survived by Anne; his mother, Gay; and children Nathan and Sarah. The family requests that any gifts in Stuart’s memory be contributed to the Carl B. Kern Fund of the Dayton Foundation.
