More About Patrick Roden:
Patrick Roden has been caring for patients and their families since 1983, when he first began working in a nursing home to pay for his education. But his life with elders goes further back to when he was a baby crawling on the floors of the nursing home run by his grandmother, who was the head nurse. He feels this experience imprinted him and influenced his life’s work.
It was his “chance meeting” with 85-year-old marathon participant, Mavis Lindgren in 1992 that set Patrick on his current path. Acting as Mrs. Lindgren’s med escort for 5 marathons changed his view of what is possible in old age.
Patrick’s nursing career spanned over three decades and included ICU, CCU, Trauma, Inner-City Public Health, YMCA Cardiac Therapy Volunteer, and Post-Surgical Recovery. He has a Ph.D. in Gerontology as well as a Masters in Gerontology and Adult Education. Patrick was awarded the Lloydena Grimes Award for Excellence in Nursing from Linfield College School of Nursing.
