The healthcare community is very sad after the sudden death of Scott Turner, president of Children’s Wisconsin Hospitals. He died in Atlanta while on a work trip, which shocked his coworkers and the families they serve.
At 52 years old, Scott was the leader behind important improvements in children’s healthcare. Staff say he was the one who showed up on the hardest days, asked nurses how they were doing, and smiled at children in the hallways. His kindness helped make stressful moments easier.
Friends say Scott remembered small things like birthdays, tough weeks, and quiet worries. He believed caring for caregivers was the first step in caring for children.
Since news of his death spread, many tributes have come from Wisconsin and beyond. His passing is a reminder that even the strongest people can face silent struggles.
As the community grieves, they hold onto the legacy Scott built: a culture of warmth, teamwork, and hope.
Scott Turner will be forever remembered.
