The 2025 Onondaga County Medical Society Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony will take place on Thursday, November 20th, at the Collegian Hotel in Syracuse. The evening will begin with a cocktail hour at 6:00 p.m., offering 170 guests the opportunity to connect with colleagues, friends, and community partners. At 7:00 p.m., guests will gather for dinner followed by the presentation of awards recognizing the outstanding achievements and contributions of physicians and organizations in our community. 

This annual event is more than just a celebration—it is a chance to reflect on the remarkable work being done in health care throughout Onondaga County and beyond. Physicians, health care leaders, and partner organizations are honored for their dedication to improving patient care, advancing medical practice, and strengthening the health of our community. Their commitment and leadership serve as an inspiration to all who share in the mission of supporting public health and physician advocacy. 

Why sponsor the OCMS Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony?

The Onondaga County Medical Society Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony has long been regarded as one of the most meaningful gatherings of the year, bringing together physicians, hospital administrators, community leaders, and supporters of health care. Sponsorship provides an unparalleled opportunity to align your organization with an evening that shines a light on excellence, service, and innovation in medicine. 

By becoming a sponsor, you demonstrate your support for the physicians who tirelessly care for our families, neighbors, and communities. In addition, your sponsorship ensures valuable visibility among a distinguished audience of medical professionals, decision-makers, and leaders from across New York State. This is not only an investment in the evening itself, but also a visible statement of your commitment to strengthening the future of health care in our region. 

Sponsorship of this event helps us celebrate the achievements of those who exemplify the highest standards of compassion and leadership in medicine. It also supports the ongoing mission of the Onondaga County Medical Society to advocate for physicians and patients, provide professional development opportunities, and build a stronger, healthier community. 

We invite you to take part in this special evening by joining us as a sponsor. Together, we can honor the physicians and organizations who have gone above and beyond in service to their patients and community, and ensure their work continues to inspire others in the years ahead. 

The Onondaga County Medical Society (OCMS) Annual Summer and Fall Rooftop Reception/Happy Hour Events are held in mid-July and early-October at the rooftop terrace of the Barclay Damon Building in Syracuse.  

In addition to providing the “best view in Syracuse,” our annual rooftop events are hugely popular among our physicians, students and stakeholders. 

The unique setting has created the perfect opportunity to connect in a collegial manor.  Your sponsorship would not only enhance the experience for our distinguished guests but also provide prominent visibility among our members, key supporters and elected officials.

In return for your sponsorship, we offer a range of benefits designed to maximize visibility and recognition.
