Children’s Hospital Foundation

In Memoriam - Roderick Bell Mathews

Children’s Hospital Foundation wishes to acknowledge with great sadness and gratitude the passing of Roderick Bell Mathews on April 27, 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer. Rod was a long-time friend of Children’s Hospital, and he served as a member and president of the hospital’s Board of Trustees for many years. In 2006 Rod became a member of the Board of Directors of Children’s Hospital Foundation where he continued to serve until his death. He will long be remembered for his great concern for the welfare of the children of our community. Through his selfless generosity he has touched the lives of thousands of children and continued to make their lives better. Everyone in the Children’s Hospital Foundation family will miss Rod for his ability to lead, his passion for bringing fairness to any situation, his compassion for others and his “spectacular” outlook on life.
