    The sad news of the death of Dr. Stjepan Rogan comes as a heavy blow to all his colleagues, family, and patients that loved and respected him. He spent his short fifty five years in his family home in Poznanovac, in company of his loved ones. He went to work every day to the Zabok General Hospital and Croatian Veteran’s Hospital, which he did not leave even during his long and difficult illness. A consummate professional, and above all a diligent specialist in internal medicine, he was always available to all who needed his help and has left an indelible mark on all the hospital staff and all the patients of the Internal Medicine Department at the Zabok General Hospital and Croatian Veterans Hospital. Dr. Stjepan Rogan attended primary schools in the towns of Poznanovac and Bedekovčina. He graduated from secondary school in 1977 in Zabok, the health care medical school in Zabok in 1979, and graduated from the University of Zagreb School of Medicine in 1984. Professionally, Dr. Rogan held for many years the positions of department head at the Department of Intensive Medicine and Department of Internal Medicine, and was the Assistant Director for medical issues at the Zabok General Hospital. In all his work he was ever supportive of those in need, caring selflessly for the people around him, be they friends or people in trouble, and always had time for us all – other people were always most important to him. Stjepan Rogan was active in the Croatian association “Muži zagorskog srca”, the Bedekovčina Hunting Society, the “Bedekovčina” Fishing Society, and FC “Tondach” Bedekovčina. As a physician, he helped defend his country in the Croatian War of Independence. Our dear Štefek has left us, our Štefek who has left an indelible mark with his work, his thoughts, and his heart. A sudden void has opened with his passing and we are faced with a great loss, a loss that cannot be replaced. But we are still left with what is most beautiful, which is the remembrance of Štefek’s gentle spirit and all his good works and his big, unselfish heart. Štefek lived for love, for sincerity, for pure heartedness, and was loved for it by the colleagues and patients he dedicated himself to. The Zabok General Hospital and Croatian Veterans Hospital and the medical institutions of the whole Zagorje region have lost an exceptional man and a great doctor that gave his whole career to this hospital in his homeland of Zagorje. Until his last breath, he helped his patients and inspired his colleagues with his example, for which we are eternally grateful as colleagues, friends, and patients.
