Dominican speaks out!
Education has always been key to the mission of the Adrian Dominican Sisters who have sponsored Dominican Hospital for over 65 years. Dominican Hospital's committment to the Santa Cruz community has always focused on disease prevention as well as treatment.
As a public service, Dominican has put together a lineup of professionals from many health-related fields to talk expertly and informally in the community. Whether your group is a service club, a church group or other not-for-profit organizations, we have experts from throughout the Dominican organization who will speak out at your meeting or event on your choice of subjects.
Our speakers are respected experts with years of experience and advanced degrees or training in their specialties. You can be sure the information in their presentations will be up-to-date, reliable and compelling.
Our list of experts and topics is always expanding. Call today for the latest additions to our roster: 831 462 7521 or e-mail eva.tordoff@chw.edu. Call at least 30 days in advance when scheduling a speaker for your group/event.
