Dr. George Rodgers Memorial Fund

It is with a great fondness we remember George Rodgers, who spent 40 years with the Department of Pediatics and a focus on global health. If you would like to honor his memory, you can designate your donation to directly support those efforts by listing  (G1934) Pediatric Global Health Gift in the check's memo section.

Described as "a seemingly unstoppable force as a pediatric hospitalist," Rodgers joined the UofL School of Medicine in 1981. He held many leadership roles, including research director of the Division of Pediatric Intensive Care, director of the Divisions of Pediatric Critical Care and Pediatric Pharmacology/Toxicology and chief and Humana Chair of International Pediatrics. His contributions to pediatric medicine, both locally and globally, are immeasurable.

Jackson Williams, current division chief of global health, describes Rodgers as "a tireless advocate for the health and well-being of children both here in Louisville and across the globe.  He was the founder of our University of Louisville global health programs and he touched countless lives through his work in Eastern Europe, South America and Africa. We hope to continue this legacy through the ongoing work of our Division of Pediatric Global Health.”

Make checks payable to the University of Louisville Foundation. In the memo, include the gift allocation (e.g. A specific school/college, scholarship etc).
