Peter Ender to Be Honored as Honorary Alumnus by the Moravian Academy Alumni Association
The Moravian Academy Alumni Association is proud to recognize Dr. Peter Ender as an Honorary Alumnus, celebrating his years of dedicated service to the community and his deep connection to Moravian Academy. Peter was a trusted and integral advisor to Moravian Academy’s administration during the COVID-19 Pandemic. He helped guide our administration through key health-related decisions on how to keep our students, faculty, and staff safe. Because of his guidance, we were able to keep our doors open for in-person instruction during this tricky time.
Peter graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in Environmental Science before earning his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine through an Air Force scholarship, graduating in 1992. He went on to complete a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in infectious diseases, serving as an infectious disease physician in the United States Air Force until 2001. He continued in the Air Force Reserve as an international health specialist until retiring in 2007 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Since 2001, Peter has been a valued member of the medical staff at St. Luke’s Hospital. He has served in numerous roles, including clinical infectious disease physician, medical director of the HIV clinics, and clinical professor of medicine at the Temple/St. Luke’s School of Medicine. He has led the Section of Infectious Diseases for the St. Luke’s University Health Network since 2017.
Peter and his wife, Heidi, have been married for 33 years and have been a part of the Moravian Academy community for many years. Their three children—Matthew ’13, Ashley ’16, and Stephen ’21—are all proud “Lifers” at the Academy. The Ender family shares a love of travel and outdoor activities and are active members of Grace Church Bethlehem, where they serve in Sunday hospitality.
We are grateful for Peter’s longstanding commitment to his family, profession, and community, and we are honored to welcome him into the alumni family of Moravian Academy.
