The annual Kit Taylor Memorial Lectureship, established in the memory of Kathryn Irene Taylor, will be held on April 22, 2025. The visiting lecturer this year will be Dr. Michael Narkewicz. Dr. Narkewicz is nationally recognized for his expertise in pediatric hepatology, liver transplantation and cystic fibrosis liver disease. Dr. Narkewicz has been an important leader in advancing GI care for people with CF and has been pivotal in providing mentorship for other CF care center providers around the world.
Community members are invited to an informal gathering on April 22nd at 6:00 pm. Dr. Narkewicz will make a few remarks regarding advances in CF care and his vision for the future. There will also be ample opportunity to engage in conversation with Dr. Narkewicz as well as other members of the CF community.
The community event will be held at Sager Beer Works/Stoneyard Brewing Company. Food, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. Because this is an indoor venue, standard infection control protocols will be followed; masks and hand sanitizer will be available on site. Regrettably, attendance by individuals with CF may be limited to one person, but other members of the family and support network are welcomed.
To assist with arrangements for the evening, please contact Alexandra Johnson ([email protected]) by April 15th to express your interest in attending this event. Any questions about the event may also be directed to Alexandra.
This event is made possible by the support from the Kit Taylor Memorial Fund and the URMC Department of Pediatrics.
