Honoring the Life of 

Dr. William Foege, MD

Dr. William Foege passed away on January 24, 2026. After graduating from Pacific Lutheran University, he attended medical school at the University of Washington and earned his MD. Dr. Foege was renowned for leading the smallpox eradication campaign and was pivotal in recruiting Rotary International into the global effort to eradicate polio. He recognized the immense potential of Rotary's volunteer network and fundraising capabilities, urging them to partner in what became one of the largest public-health initiatives in history.
