Ronald P. Culberson, MSW, CSP offers keynote addresses* and workshops* for all types of healthcare organizations. Unfortunately, his services do not include singing, group hugs, or graphic anatomical slides. They do include stories, practical information, inspiration and lots of hilarious humor.

The standing ovation from the more than 1,000 people in the audience was an indication that your program was a hit! I specifically appreciate your attending the previous plenary sessions and then starting your presentation with such a hilarious summary of those sessions. You took the messages that we all heard and put a humorous twist on them which was not only funny, but highlighted the important work that our members carry out each day in hospice and palliative care. Plus, you accomplished this in a clean and respectful way. J. Donald Schumacher, PsyD, President and CEO National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization
