FHN Speaker Series
The FHN Speaker Series is designed to provide the community with timely and relevant healthcare news and information. These free and open-to-the-public presentations feature FHN providers and healthcare professionals sharing their expertise to help people in our community become healthier and better-informed healthcare consumers. Each presentation is followed by a Q&A session to allow time for guests to get related information of interest. On most occasions, our presenters are able to stay for a time to chat individually with audience members.
