The Youth Clinic, all of Fort Collins and
Northern Colorado, and especially the
Sullivan
family this month lost a very special member of
our community. "Dr. Bill" joined our medical staff
in 1990 and we were honored to practice
pediatrics
with him until his career was cut short by illness.
Dr. Sullivan was a remarkable pediatrician, his quiet
compassion, his clinical skills and knowledge and his
warm smile were appreciated by his patients and our
office for all the years that he was with us.
Bill was a wonderful father and husband, a passionate
CSU Rams booster, and an excellent athlete, most of all
he was a terrific person who showed us all how to live and
eloquently, how to face the ultimate
challenge of dealing
with his terminal illness with grace and
dignity. His presence
will be missed but all that he represented
will remain with
us forever and serve as an inspiration to all of the current
and future providers at the Youth Clinic.
In his honor the Youth Clinic in conjunction with Poudre
Valley Hospital and the Family Practice Residency has
established the "William J Sullivan Memorial Fund" - for
excellence in education in the care of children, including
an annual lecture series given by nationally-recognized
clinicians, as well as scholarships for educational programs
for children. Donations can be made directly to the fund at
any First Bank of
Mail to; First Bank of NC

Have a favorite Dr. Sullivan memory you would like
to share with his family ?
