About the Fund which supports this lecture...
When Rob's father and dental partner Frank Hoopes died in 1976' Rob's mother Edna, his family, and donors of gifts for "Dr. Frank," established this lecture fund to provide honoraria for expert speakers to provide continuing dental education in Delaware. While the lectures have been open to the public, actively practicing dentists and physicians are the target audience. Frank Hoopes was ahead of his time in recognizing this need; he was especially interested in medical-dental collaboration.
During his retirement, Rob was engaged in updating the lecture program. The funds are now managed by the Delaware Community Foundation who send an annual donation to the Delaware Academy of Medicine who work with the Delaware State Dental Society to design and present the Annual Hoopes Lecture.
