DR.
ROSEBUD
FOSTER
Remembering a
Revered Colleague
By Scott Colton, B.A., APR
COM/HPD Director of Medical Communications
and Public Relations
On July 20, a bright light in the health care firma-
ment was forever dimmed when Rosebud Lightbourn
Foster, Ed.D.—a true champion for the delivery of
health care to society’s most vulnerable and needy
populations—passed away at the age of 79.
“Dr. Foster was an incredibly valuable asset to the
Health Professions Division and my office,” said Dr.
Frederick Lippman, HPD chancellor. “She will be
sorely missed not only personally to me as a person
who always displayed her kindness, guidance, and
abilities, but by the individuals who received the
advice and advocacy of a very competent health care
professional and kind human being.”
