Give Back to the Community
The Riverside Medical Group APP Committee invites our conference participants to “give back” to our communities.
The Riverside Simulation Training Lab, dedicated in memory of Dr. Brandon D. Rogers, is the culmination of a three-year collaborative effort among the Rogers Family, Community Donors, Riverside Medical Staff, and the Riverside Foundation. This 8,400-square-foot facility outfitted with specialized clinical areas and a procedural suite is designed to emulate the clinical environment and provide a safe place for medical staff/providers to develop, learn and practice skills to ultimately improve patient care.

A February 2021 report from the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice showed domestic violence increased over 8% during pandemic lockdowns. Many people were cut off from what limited support systems they had. Please consider donating to help members of our community escaping domestic violence. The importance of the work these organizations do cannot be underestimated. Avalon Center serves Williamsburg/Middle Peninsula and ESCADV serves the Eastern Shore. Conference participants are invited to bring the following items for donation: toilet paper, paper towels and cleaning spray.
