In terms of professional and personal conduct and performance, many people keep mental lists of “no brainer” standards and responses. For Patrick E. Carroll Jr., one of his “no brainers” was the launch of an independent organization that recognized the careers and accomplishments of healthcare supply chain professionals.
Upon receiving the invitation in 2007 to help develop what would become Bellwether League Inc., the Hall of Fame for Healthcare Supply Chain Leadership, Carroll accepted the challenge immediately and without hesitation. He felt such a concept was a “no brainer” that the industry needed. And for the next decade, Carroll devoted time and energy to the cause of recognizing and honoring supply chain excellence.
Bellwether League learned that Carroll died suddenly on Monday night, August 6, two months shy of his retirement from the Board of Directors. He was 69.
Carroll was one of two Bellwether League Board Members elected to two different offices during the last 12 years. He first served as the organization’s Founding Treasurer (2007-2012) and as Secretary (2013-2018).
