Dr. John C. Munshower was a dedicated physician, mentor, colleague and friend to many at Main Line Health and Riddle Hospital. A caring and accomplished leader, John exemplified the values of compassionate healthcare and commitment to advancing the field of family medicine.
 
John began his medical career at Crozer-Keystone Health System, where he served patients for over 20 years. In 2017, he joined Main Line Health as Chief of Family Medicine at Riddle Hospital, quickly becoming an esteemed leader recognized by peers and patients alike. During his tenure from 2017 to 2021, he served as the Clinical Operations Leader for Main Line Health, providing invaluable insights that shaped the future of patient care. Since 2020, he also served as a valued member of The Riddle HealthCare Foundation Board, where he chaired the Physician Giving Campaign and co-founded the Physician’s 1963 Society, strengthening our philanthropic community.
 
John’s impact extended beyond the clinic. He served as physician chair for the Riddle Pro-Am Golf Classic and co chaired the annual Gala — two events he held dear and contributed to with great enthusiasm.

Throughout his career, Dr. Munshower exemplified what it means to be a physician and leader. He was a trusted mentor to his younger colleagues and a model of dedication among his peers. Driven by a commitment to patient well-being, he championed medical education, advocating for the development of future healthcare professionals. He served as a preceptor for several local medical training programs and was chief preceptor for MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. His passion for guiding and educating the next generation of practitioners was unwavering.
 
Dr. Munshower is survived by his beloved wife, Shauna, and their four children: Amanda, John, Joseph and Paul. We will remember him as a compassionate physician, a devoted family man, and a leader who left an enduring legacy of care, dedication and service. Though he will be deeply missed, his spirit and contributions will continue to inspire us all.
