Gail Rogers is a volunteer at MCAP assisting with the data management system and all the fundraising events. Gail graduated from Temple University, receiving her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. Her nursing career spanned more than 45 years and included working with medical/surgical patients.

Gail was honored to be Joe DiMaggio’s nurse and was excited when she received a signed baseball from him. Nursing led her to care for many people, she eventually expanded her nursing care to home health care in the Philadelphia and Reading areas.
