Kit Taylor Lectureship
We are fortunate to have the Kit Taylor Memorial Lectureship at the Golisano Children's Hospital, established in 1982. The annual event is an opportunity for parents, trainees, nurses, physicians and community medical professionals to learn from renown national experts in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The event is devoted to parents, patients, and interested community members, and the lecture is presented at Pediatric Grand Rounds.
