Interested in a Speaker?

One of Unity's commitments to the residents and professionals in Northeast Wisconsin is to increase the understanding of the journey of life.  We accomplish this goal, in part, by providing speakers and educators to present a variety of topics.

We invite you to learn more about our Speakers Bureau program and how you can arrange for a Unity speaker to present to your group ...

The Speakers
The Unity Speakers Bureau includes presentations from our physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors, chaplains, certified nursing assistants, volunteers and administrative staff.

To support and provide education for professionals, several members of the Unity staff are certified as EPEC (Education for Physicians on End-of-Life Care) and ELNEC (End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium) trainers.  Unity also has staff members certified to present the clinical review for the generalist hospice and palliative nurse and nursing assistant.

The Audience
Unity offers specialized programs for elementary through college students, education training for employers and faculty, and information sessions for community organizations.

The Presentation
Presentations are tailored to meet your specific needs.  They vary in length from a 30-minute talk to a half-day in-service or workshop.
