David Critcherson Miller (March 9, 1917 – March 27, 1997) was an American physician and epidemiologist who attended to Albert Schweitzer until the humanitarian's death and later devoted his life to famine and medical relief efforts together with his wife, who was Schweitzer's only child.
[1] He was employed by the United States Public Health Service in Washington, D.C., where he was responsible for nutrition programs.
Starting in 1957, he was assigned to the Public Health Service Indian Hospital in Tuba City, Arizona, remaining there until 1959.
He married Rhena Schweitzer, the only child of Dr. Schweitzer, in 1971, and the two traveled around the world offering medical assistance in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Haiti, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Vietnam and Yemen to those suffering from drought, famine, plague and war.
[1] Miller co-edited the book The relevance of Albert Schweitzer at the dawn of the 21st century with James Pouilliard, a work originally published by the University Press of America in 1992 that collected papers that had been presented in August 1990 at the United Nations as part of the International Albert Schweitzer Colloquium.
