Long-time family physician Dr. George Harlan Roenning is being remembered for his legacy of kindness, humility, and dedication.  Roenning, 79, passed away last weekend at his Sevastopol home.  Having dedicated his professional career for over 30 years at Door County Memorial Hospital and North Shore Clinic (now Door County Medical Center), Roenning retired in 2012.  DCMC CEO Brian Stephens says Roenning remained active at the hospital after retirement, helping in the quality department and addressing patient concerns.  Stephens adds that Roenning had a huge impact on the organization and community.

According to his obituary, Roenning served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War era and was deployed to Alaska as a medical administrator.  He went to medical school at Rutgers in New Jersey before his residency at UW-Madison and relocation to Door County in 1979.

Visitation for Dr. George Roenning will be held at Huehns Funeral Home this Saturday beginning at 9 a.m., followed by military honors by the U.S. Army and AMVETS Post 51 at noon.   You can read his complete obituary by clicking this link.
