Expert speakers at your service
Freeman caregivers, including doctors, nurses, executives, and other professionals, dedicate themselves to providing cutting-edge healthcare to meet the needs of their community. Our Speakers Bureau provides outreach and education by offering the services of a wide range of clinical and nonclinical experts, ready and willing to address your next meeting or workshop.
Freeman provides the Speakers Bureau service free-of-charge to the community and welcomes donations to
Freeman Foundation. If a speaking engagement involves travel outside of the area, we request payment of the speaker's travel expenses.
To schedule a speaker for your group or organization:
Email or call the Freeman Marketing Department during regular business hours at 417.347.6621. We will need your organization name and contact information; topic(s) of interest; date, time, and location of your event; size and age range of your group; and length of time allotted to the speaker. Please submit your request 3 to 5 weeks in advance, if possible.
