We are saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Robert Kendall, community leader, renowned neurosurgeon, and founder of Our Health.
Knowing Dr. Kendall's devotion to serving others, Our Health VA would like to recommend the following ways to honor him on the date of his funeral, Wednesday, August 5:
1. Help stock the Freedge by leaving food or drink items in the community refrigerator on the Our Health campus so that someone experiencing food insecurity doesn't go hungry.
2. Leave flowers or a note telling about a positive experience you had with Dr. Kendall at the sign designating the campus in his name.
3. Donate to your favorite nonprofit in his memory.
Commit a random act of kindness.
