AMDA's 26th Annual Symposium Activities

Wall of Caring Returns to AMDA Annual Meeting

In 2002, the AMDA Foundation Wall of Caring created an affecting visual and verbal tribute to those who, by their dedication, example, wisdom and grace, have supported medical direction and the betterment of long term care.

The Wall of Caring will return in 2003 to allow meeting attendees to once again honor their mentors, patients, and loved ones while supporting the AMDA Foundation. Eli Lilly will match contributions up to $15,000; the goal for 2003 is $30,000.

Contributors are encouraged to write messages, post photos or drawings, or leave other items to acknowledge special individuals and demonstrate their support for the Foundation and its research efforts.

Supporters and tributes from the 2002 Wall may be found on the Foundation web site at www.amda.com/foundation/wallofcaring.htm. Look for the Wall onsite in Orlando.
