CONGRATULATIONS DR. ROBERT McGREGOR
After 35 impactful years as a pediatrician and 12 years as Akron Children’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Robert McGregor is retiring. His legacy of transforming challenges into opportunities will live on through the programs he pioneered. His advice to young professionals: Get engaged, bring positive solutions, find joy in your work, and prioritize self-care. 💙
From his wife Sharon:
"I couldn’t be prouder of this man, my husband, for his outstanding career extending from a medical student to chief resident to primary care pediatrician to outstanding academic diagnostician, to long term residency director, pediatric educator at a local and national level, to chair of pediatrics and ultimately in an executive position as chief medical officer for an outstanding free-standing children’s hospital. He has always cared deeply for the kids he has taken care of as well as for his colleagues and the people he has worked with. In addition, he is a dedicated family man and continues to be an amazing father to his two daughters and loving Papa Mac to his 3 grandchildren. I have walked with him through his career and have seen his care and dedication behind the scenes. You can be sure he will continue to pay forward all the wisdom and experience that he has gained from this career that he had loved."
