Lyon Daughters Lecture Series
About the Lyon Daughters Lecture
Since 1992, the Rochester Academy of Medicine and the Lyon family have sponsored the Annual Lyon Daughters Lecture. This is a series of lectures that explore ethical issues of health care that appeal to the general public as well as to physicians. The lecture series was the idea of Allis Van Voorhis D'Amanda, granddaughter of Carolyn and Edmund Lyon. The lectures are held in the Lyon home which the Lyon's three daughters gave to the Academy in 1938. The daughters, Elzabeth Lyon Kidd born in 1898, the twins, Carolyn Lyon Remington and Linda Lyon Van Voorhis, born in 1902, inherited their parent's sense of civic pride, philanthropy and responsibility. It seems appropriate to honor these ladies in a way that would expand the medical educational activities that are one of the Academy's missions and reflect the humanitarian and cultural ideals of the Lyon family.
