This listing is for VIRTUAL (Zoom) attendance only.
This year, we are offering the symposium in a hybrid format for the first time. Virtual participation is available with expanded access, while in-person registration is limited.
This year’s theme is “It Takes a Village: Faith, Family, and Community in Caregiving,” bringing together caregivers, professionals, and community members for a meaningful day of education, resources, and connection.
The symposium is named in honor of Dr. Lemuel and Gloria Rogers. In 1968, Dr. Rogers became one of the first African American physicians to build and own a medical building in Rochester. Over his 30 years of practice as an obstetrician-gynecologist, he delivered more than 5,000 babies at Rochester’s Highland and Saint Mary’s hospitals. Dr. Rogers later lived with Alzheimer’s dementia, and this event continues his legacy by supporting awareness, education, and community engagement.
