Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence is in mourning over the loss
of our Chairman, Charles Chambers, MD, who passed away on June 9.

Dr. Chambers contributed immensely to ACE since its inception, and his
dedicated leadership will be sorely missed. He is survived by his wife,
three children and three grandchildren.

In addition to his role as Chairman of ACE, Dr. Chambers was a tenured
professor of Medicine and Radiology at Pennsylvania State University
School of Medicine, and served as director of the cardiac catheterization
laboratories at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, PA,
for over 20 years. He also served as the President of the Society for
Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 2014-2015.

Throughout his career, Dr. Chambers demonstrated his commitment to
the pursuit of quality in cardiovascular care, grounding his work always in
the impact that his contributions had, and will continue to have, on
patients, their families, and the greater scope of health care professionals
across the cardiovascular continuum of care.

Dr. Chambers' legacy is established in the missions of the organizations
with whom he worked, and the lives he impacted through his association.
No doubt, the indelible mark he leaves behind will be seen in the
continued influence of his contributions on organizations, professionals,
and individuals striving towards the ongoing pursuit of quality in a
constantly evolving health care landscape.
