Passings

Dr. Alan Stoudemire, professor of psychiatry, died Feb. 2 after a long battle with cancer.

Dr. Stoudemire, 49, was a leading authority on medical psychiatry and mental health in older persons. He wrote or edited more than 10 books, including the just-released second edition of Psychiatric Care of the Medical Patient.

He worked constantly through his illness, which was diagnosed in 1996; he published the autobiographical A Place at the Table in December.

The Psychosocial Fund at AFLAC Children's Cancer Center and the medical library at Children's Healthcare were established in Dr. Stoudemire's honor.

"I do not spend a minute worrying about how long I am going to live," Stoudemire said in a profile that ran in a Children's Cancer Center publication. "It's what I can accomplish in the time I have left that matters the most to me."
