Robert E. Raborn, MD and Lenore Benson Raborn met at Tulane University, where Lenore was a graduate student in the School of Social Work, having completed undergraduate studies at Florida State College for Women, and Bob was a student in the School of Medicine, having completed undergraduate studies in Agriculture at the University of Florida. While their meeting happened by chance, they already had a connection: unknown to them, Lenore and Bob’s mothers had been roommates at Florida State College for Women, but had since lost touch.

Robert E. Raborn, MD and Lenore Benson Raborn, MSW

Members of the Greatest Generation, the pair were committed to public service. During World War II, Lenore worked as an airplane spotter at the Boca Raton Army Air Field and Bob served in the United States Army. Bob later served President Eisenhower as the medical director of the United States Treasury Department during the Korean War. While Bob was given different assignments in the United States Public Health Service, Lenore worked in medical social work in New Orleans, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. After Bob’s service ended, they moved to her hometown of Boynton Beach, Florida, where they raised three children and helped found Bethesda Memorial Hospital in the late 1950’s. True to Bob’s public health background, in the 1960’s the family ran the oral polio vaccine distribution in the Boynton/ Delray area from the Delray Drive-In theater, successfully immunizing 80% of the community.

The effort was a family affair – the Raborn children ran back and forth delivering paper cups with sugar cubes that held drops of the vaccine to families who drove through.

Lenore and Bob were both active civic leaders in the community. Lenore served as president or charter member for many local groups, including the Palm Beach County Medical Auxiliary, Seacrest University Women, Bethesda Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, Poinciana Garden Club and the St. Andrews School Mothers’ Association. She also served on the Boards of the Bethesda Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Bethesda Memorial Fund. A charter member of the Bethesda Memorial Hospital staff and celebrated cardiologist, Bob was an active outdoorsman and an avid environmentalist, earning recognition not only for his work in the medical field but also for his volunteer work in conservation.

Through a trust established by Robert in 1974, Tulane received generous gifts in 2020 and 2021 to establish endowed funds supporting the School of Medicine and the School of Social Work.
