Kendall Bank, who served as President and Chief Executive Officer for Northfield Hospital & Clinics from 1988-2010, died unexpectedly Feb. 1, 2015 at his home in Tucson, Ariz. He was 69.

Ken was a thoughtful, progressive leader who was instrumental in positioning Northfield Hospital & Clinics to grow and thrive in a challenging healthcare environment. During his tenure, he presided over the development of the Center for Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation, the expansion of surgical services and diagnostic imaging, the development and construction of a new hospital, and the development of a primary clinic network. He was also active in many community projects.

He spent his retirement in Tucson with his wife, Rhonda, where he enjoyed hiking in the many mountain ranges surrounding their home. Besides Rhonda, Ken is survived by their three children, Shannon Bank Pitt ’11, Erin, and Brian; two grandchildren; and a son-in-law.
